I was once on a farm, laughing at something, and a horsefly came up and bit me on the tongue.
I had no idea why it happened, still don't, but it was one of the worst things that had ever happened to me at that point in my life.
I got a cabin out in Shenandoah one time by Luray, and all the bugs out there are frickin massive.
I’m outside making bbq, having a mikes hard lemonade of some kind. Grab my bottle, take a swig, and suddenly I have what feels like a wet piece of carpet halfway in my mouth.
So I pull the bottle away from my face and lo and behold the most massive hornet I have ever seen in my life plops down and hits the ground. Like at least two and a half inches long. Little guy was drunk as all hell after taking a swim and thankfully didnt sting me when I had his ass in my mouth
If it was a Murder Hornet, you should've called animal control. They want to eradicate the invasive species.
