Asian Giant Tiger Hornet (
Vespa Mandarinia
)
Scientific Classification
Kingdom:
Animalia
Phylum:
Arthropoda
Class:
Insecta
Order:
Hymenoptera
Family:
Vespidae
Genus:
Vespa
Species:
V. mandarinia
Binomial name:
Vespa mandarinia
The Asian giant hornet (Vespa mandarinia), including the subspecies Japanese giant hornet (
Vespa mandarinia Japonica
),colloquially known as the yak-killer hornet, is the world's largest hornet, is a native of temperate and tropical Eastern Asia. Its body length is between 27 mm (1.1 inches) and 45 mm (1.8 inches), with a wingspan of about 76 mm (3 inches). Queens may reach a length of 55 mm (2.2 inches).
Anatomy
The head of the hornet is orange and quite wide in comparison to other hornet species. The compound eyes and ocelli are dark brown, and the antennae are dark brown with orange scapes. The clypeus (the shield-like plate on the front of the head) is orange and coarsely punctured; the posterior side of the clypeus has narrow, rounded lobes. The mandible is large and orange with a black tooth (inner biting surface).
The thorax and propodeum (the segment which forms the posterior part of the thorax) of the Asian giant hornet has a distinctive golden tint and a large scutellum (a shield-like scale on the thorax) that has a deeply-impressed medial line; the postscutellum (the plate behind the scutellum) bulges and overhangs the propodeum. The hornet's forelegs are orange with dark brown tarsi (the distal - furthest down - part of the leg); the midlegs and hindlegs are dark brown. Wings are a dark brownish-gray. The tegulae are brown. The gaster (the portion of the abdomen behind the thorax-abdomen connection) is dark brown with a white, powdery covering; with narrow yellow bands at the posterior margins of the tergite, the sixth segment is entirely yellow.
Geographic Distribution
It can be found in most of Asia but mostly in the mountains of Japan: southeastern regions of Asian Russia (Primorskii Krai), Korea, China, Japan, Indochina, Nepal, India, Sri Lanka.
Sting
The stinger of the Asian giant hornet is about a quarter-inch (6 mm) in length, and injects an especially potent venom that contains an enzyme so strong that it can dissolve human tissue. Masato Ono, an entomologist at Tamagawa University near Tokyo, described the sensation as feeling "like a hot nail through my leg."
If a person is stung by the giant hornet and does not receive prompt medical treatment, he or she may die from a reaction to the venom. About 40 people die each year after being stung by giant hornets, mainly as a result of an allergic reaction to the venom.
A couple of interesting notes on the V. mandarinia's venom and stinger:
The venom contains 5% acetylcholine, which stimulates the pain nerve fibres more than bee or other wasp venoms, so that it is a bit more painful.
The venom is optimized to kill bees which are the V. mandarinia's natural prey. This means that while the venom may be a bit more painful to vertebrates, it is actually less toxic.
Like all hornets, V. mandarinia can sting repeatedly, and do so when they prey on bees and other insects.
According to a report, one victim could not be recognized because said victim's face was dissolved beyond recognition due to numerous stings to that area.
Tropical Tiger Hornet -
Vespa tropica
Scientific Classification
Kingdom:
Animalia
Phylum:
Arthropoda
Class:
Insecta
Order:
Hymenoptera
Family:
Vespidae
Genus:
Vespa
Species:
V. tropica
This is a medium-sized to large species. Queens reach 30mm or more, males average 26mm and workers average 24 to 35 mm. There is some geographical variance within this species. Generally, the second abdominal segment carries a large area of bright yellow, while the rest of the abdomen is black.
Vespa tropica
is a widely distributed hornet in much of tropical Asia. It is rather secretive and tends to fly close to the cover of foliage. Individuals in Singapore often fly high in trees.
This species is known to attack the nests of
Polistines
(paper wasps) in order to obtain the larvae to feed their own larvae. It is said to be almost exclusive in choice of prey.
The nest of
Vespa tropica
is usually underground or in a tree hollow or similar enclosed space. Due to the location, the nest is seldom seen. If excavated, the nest usually appears rhomboid, with an open bottom (as opposed to the completely sealed nests of most aerial hornets). The nest envelope islaminar (comprising of distinct, broad individual layers) and very brittle.
Vespa tropica
does not seem to be a defensive species. It is strange how reluctant these insects were to attack. And it must be noted that this species has been responsible for many fatal attacks, due to the location of its nests and its wide distribution.
It must be noted that this species, like Vespa affinis, appears more aggressive in tropical regions than sub-tropical areas.
Larger colony sizes and constant hot weather cause most wasps to be more defensive in tropical regions.
Bamboo Carpenter Bee -
Xylocopa
iridipennis
It makes its nest in an internode of dead bamboo stem. Using its large mandibles it gnaws a hole in the bamboo stem and then makes its small nest in the hollow internode within.
The bees feed on nectar from flowers and can often be seen foraging at flowers of Bauhinnia, Ligustrum, Buddleia and other trees and shrubs where their size and loud wing-buzzing as they fly make them readily recognizable.
