Asian Giant Hornet: The World's Largest Wasp and Its Threat

Imagine a wasp as big as your thumb!

That's the Asian giant hornet, the world's largest.

It lives in Asia and has a painful sting that can feel like a hot nail.

Its sting contains a strong venom.

One sting isn't usually deadly, but multiple stings can be.

This can cause severe reactions like organ failure.

These hornets aren't aggressive unless bothered.

If you see one, don't provoke it, and back away slowly.

They're also an invasive species in places like North America.
