I still like Eric-the-half-a-bee.

I've always been partial to Judas Maccabee myself

It is a pretty cool picture of a dead bee with two wasps' heads on it...

Cool find, subby.

AlanSmithee: Cool find, subby.

That little fish must have been a dentist.

A Dentist?

Poor Eric, he's half beside himself with jealousy.

PseudoNic:
What kind of wasp is that?

If I'm not mistaken it is the Asian giant hornet, Vespa mandarinia. Here (new window) is the Wiki for it.

Tnx. She be a scary one.

Here in VA, we have these bees called Bell Hornets or Japanese Hornets. Which is similar to the wasp above. They are quite nasty and can be aggressive little fellers. as 2-inch long bees go

I'd punch each head in the face.

/Yeah, I know. Dane Cook sucks.

That bee must have defended itself somehow.

Unbeelievable.

PseudoNic, that thing will haunt my nightmares for the rest of my life and then some. O.o

/deathly allergic

PseudoNic - Wow... beautiful, but scary. *flees*

It's a streetlight.

I, for one, welcome our three-headed bee overlords.

Late last summer I witnessed such a battle firsthand. The bee crash landed beside me on the grass with two wasps locked onto it. It tore them both apart with it's jaws before being swarmed and overwhelmed by wasp backup.

I'd just lit a joint when this happened, one of those trippy stoned-experiences you never forget.

You can shoot those suckers out of midair with a BB gun.

Brutal

Definitely read that as "three-headed baby."

Great. Another bee/wasp/hornet thread. This will end well.

Good Morning!!

I don't have much to add except that bees and wasps scare me so much more than spiders. I'd take clock-spider any day over the wasp that PseudoNic posted. Heck, when I lived in Texas, the red hornets there scared the crap out of me - much more so than the scorpions we'd find in the bathroom.

I've seen at least two better three-headed bees today.

He's wearing those wasp heads as armor.

Goddamn Chaos Bee.

Honey for the Honey God, Wasp Heads for the Wasp Head throne.

This. Is. Spartaaa!!

Ack. I friggin' hate bees.

Shiat, that thing's REAL?!
It's not the length that bothers me (we have wasps/bald-faced hornets around), but the fact that it looks like a farking bus with wings.

Tachikoma: /deathly allergic

Me too. Know thine enemy!

Did you ever see the spider hunters (Family Pompilidae)? They rock!

this should be the subject of a photoshop thread.

But Conan, I'm protected from 3 inch bees!

That clip will haunt my nightmares, and cause my children to be born faceless.

Thanks a lot.

:(

Broz_Tito: Bees VS Wasps

Coolest thing I've seen all life

puffy999: Shiat, that thing's REAL?!

Yeah, very real. You can find videos of it on YouTube. There is one where 30 of those bastards take out an entire colony of bees. It is kinda scary.

Broz_Tito: Bees VS Wasps

Wow. 30,000 dead in 3 hours. And to think that this happens to countless colonies around the world everyday. And that's just bees.

Nature's little Holocausts are more terrifying then anything humanity could ever do.

Maybe someone should clone it.

Bee, bat and frog colonies as dying everywhere.
It's quite scary.

Broz_Tito: Bees VS Wasps

The Chinese honey bees have learned to lure the wasp scouts into their hive rather than letting it fly off. The wasp knows it has to leave and get backup but it can't seem to resists the allure. Once inside, it will strike at the nearest bee, signaling the attack. The other honey bees swarm onto the scout, piling up and vibrating furiously, raising the temperature. The honey bees can withstand the heat, but the wasp cooks. The colony is safe, for now.

While I was watching that, I realized that would make a kickass beginning to a movie or game. Something like a peaceful metropolis city is wiped and "cleansed" by like 30 unstoppable machines and plot goes from there.

Now if i could just find a three headed dog that could bark and shoot these things at burglars...

Japanese Hornet pwning a praying mantis. Link (new window)

/Not sure if i have the type of hornet right
//Check out the scorpion fight too

M Night reportedly intrigued.

A few months ago at work i had, out of the blue, a wasps head fall on the table infront of me. Creeped me out but i decided to take a closer look. out of the blue the mandibles and antenas started moving. They didn't stop till about 45 min later.
