Randomguy Posted October 3, 2013 Share #1 Posted October 3, 2013 http://www.cnn.com/2013/10/03/world/asia/hornet-attack-china/ Deadly hornets kill 42 people in China, injure over 1,500 Hong Kong (CNN) -- Swarms of aggressive hornets, in their fall mating season, are inflicting a deadly toll in a central Chinese province. Hornets have killed 42 people and injured 1,675 people in three cities in Shaanxi province since July, according to the local government. Thirty-seven patients remain in critical or serious condition. Over the summer and early fall, hornets have invaded schools full of children and descended upon unsuspecting farm workers in China. Government authorities say these attacks are from a particularly venomous species, the world's largest hornet, known as the Asian giant hornet or vespa mandarinia. The giant hornet extends about 3.5 to 3.9 centimeters in length, roughly the size of a human thumb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
