Because we don’t have enough on our plates as it is, now we’ve got ‘murder hornets’ flying around the United States. Murder hornets (actually Asian Giant Hornets, but that name didn’t strike enough fear into the masses) have a sting powerful enough that China recommends medical treatment if stunk more than ten times, and emergency treatment if stung more than 30. *pours out a little liquor for Macaulay Culkin in My Girl*. And where is his glasses?! He can’t see without his glasses! Put his glasses on! Here’s a video of Coyote Peterson getting stung by one (the Japanese Giant Hornet was previously believed to be a subspecies of the Asian Giant Hornet, but has since been recategorized as a color morph). This is a video of a praying mantis eating a Giant Asian hornet until it’s just a pile of limbs. So yeah, praying mantises — start breeding them. And make sure to selectively breed them too so we can produce them bigger and bigger until they’re preying on us because the way things are going how is that not how this ends?

Keep going for the video while I surround my Animal Crossings town with preying mantises to protect my villagers and keep my five-star rating (okay, three).
