Giant Hornet / Wasp from Denmark

[sorenguardian101]

HOW THE FUCK DID YOU GET SO CLOSE WITHOUT IT STINGING YOUR EYES OUT?!!! WHAT THE HELL?!!!

[Dariacutey]

At 0:33 the wasp/hornet is like aye dont go near or else lol

[rollinonice]

why didn't you step on it ?

[katdenmark]

@rollinonice It was very impressing - and it didn't do me anything :-)

[TheZinger69]

you can handle them , there very placid . dont piss it off though!

[Xbaronlol]

Big ass hornet WELL i think he thinks WOW BIG HUMAN 'heartcramps' am i getting swiss knifed? 'startled' O_O flies away..

[V67850]

I dont know about giant, that looks like a small swiss army knife.You filmed it in a way to make the hornet appear bigger-- than it really is.But it does show close up, the almost human like reactions of being scared.I watched the show about real giant japanese hornets, and slowed down some of the scenes w/my dvr---when they are attacking the honeybees----and those honeybees showed the same, almost human like reactions to the giant hornets.Some even seemed to show pity to their fallen bees.

[katdenmark]

@V67850 Yes, it is one of the small knives, but it was the one I had in my pocket. You can see that I tried to put it in front of the hornet at 0:49 and it is side by side with the hornet at 1:00 so I didnt try to make it look bigger than it is. It looks like it does when filming with my camera. In fact there was not much time to think about anything because I didnt know when I would fly away. As you can see it didnt take a long time before it did.

[samiamred]

@V67850 that is a big ass hornet.

[V67850]

@samiamred Yes it is. But the point I was trying to make is that this

video reminds me of that nature film hit that was released at the box office, called:

Microcosmos If anyone has not seen that yet, if you like this video, youi will love that film as well.

It has the same type of artistic feel, and aesthetic effect.

[MrDeelightful]

Awww! I want one as a pet. I'd put a little harness on it and it could fly around on a leash.

[s52608]

damn, that wasp is getting panic attacks like a mad bro

[MrSerpentseyes]

u should of put a cup o nto pof it and smoke it 2 death and then study it

[katdenmark]

@MrSerpentseyes No, I think it is funnier to see it alive on film. If I see one next year I think I will let it lick some honey on my finger.

[AK47ofDOOM]

almost cute........almost

[liampetersmith]

i heard that the toxic in there sting can melt human skin? is there any truth in that?

[katdenmark]

@liampetersmith I think it is a little exaggerated, but I am sure it will hurt...

[TheFinlandnator]

Alcohol?

[DizzleCashMotivated]

i feel sick watching this but i do like the video

[katdenmark]

@DizzleCashMotivated Thanks! Hope you are well now :-)

[SteveMagic09]

like what it does at :07

its like "WTF???"" lolol

[katdenmark]

@SteveMagic09 Yes - suddenly it saw the big eye in the camera I think :-)

[mekyengo]

A strangely tolerant hornet. Was it dying?

[katdenmark]

@mekyengo No, I think it was a little confused because I had just carried it out from the house to the garden in a glass. As you can see it flew away and I think it was happy to escape.

[ObeeLektro]

Dude you are pissing it off !!! I am surprised it just did not launch at you. No offense. I would not toy like that. unless you have sprayed some intoxicant before hand.

[dporrata]

That's mad

[yankolo1234]

you **ing crazy it could **ing kill you !!!!!

[Zuyanthehunter]

its digusting but not even a bee phobic like me cold kill a be

[marco1231151231]

you know i hate those things to the bone but the first thing i said was WAUW :D i love the colours :)

[CodFunable]

i want to catch one of those and torture it to death

[QuakeLiveDemo]

why not getting a hammer and slamming it>

[ThxSwitch]

Sådan en har været i mit hus et par gange ..

[zephir124]

This creature is apparently thrilled with camera glass. Maybe he considers it as a water surface and he afraid of drowning.

[estrellablanca]

that animal has machine guns in its legs.

[youvebeenziond]

you sir. have bigger balls than i ever hope to have.

[VelhoMilonguero]

sounds like Pink Floyd - Dogs chords

[x0SlimShadyLP0x]

I would v kill that bitch with some gasoline and fire!

[flufychickens]

I give you props If I saw that I would have fucked myself

[theunknown217]

fuck pis lort den er jo kæmpe!

[funnyrees]

very nice :D

[robcarterrulezd00d]

fuckin metal



[jimmyshitbags]

this is incredible footage.

[jonrg77]

Thats one fearsome looking wasp! apart from size and the fact that the hornet is dark brown and yellow instead of black and yellow,the hornet is identical to the standard wasp!

[BigBrotherMateyka]

What a beautiful specimen this one is.

Also, note how docile it reacts to foreign objects. Proof that not all things that have stingers are monsters.

[tjf4375]

@BigBrotherMateyka Indeed! In fact although their stings are much more painful, hornets are usually much less aggressive than the common wasp, and don't really bother with humans at all unless you disturb their nests. We had a nest of hornets living next door one year, and they never bothered us at all - they weren't at all interested in our food or anything, and just flew overhead back and forth to the nest every now and again. Funnily enough that year we hardly saw any common wasps!

[lucariofan556]

does look like extra eyes on the top of its head

[DayaTom7]

it's talking

[priris]

KILL IT!!!!!

[454ffv]

i wanna see this fight against the japanese giant hornets

[shufflehop]

Lol at 0:32 the hornet realises it's being filmed.

[heteromeles]

Meanwhile in Denmark

[skaktossen]

Ok, har undersøgt lidt på det hele. Ja, vi har store gedehams i Danmark, som så må være den, du har filmet. Problemet er, at jeg har forvekslet den gedehams som du har i videoen, med den japanske/asiatiske kæmpe gedehams, som både kan bide og stikke med en betydelig mængde gift, og er meget aggressive. Den du har filmet, er den europæiske kæmpe gedehams, som er en underart, og ikke nær så farlig. Det vil dog gøre meget ondt, at blive bidt eller stukket af den. Bottom line...Jeg tog fejl. :-)

[tehpyrospy]

DAM NATURE

YOU SCARY

[cr4shish]

I think the Hornet is trying to scare you, to raise his legs and moving his jaws

If I see Hornet i will take it with me and put it in the House And search the Hornet to fight with him, I did not see wasp vs Hornet , I hope to see

[skydive911]

I just saw one in my backyard! it was like 3 cm tall and not aggressive at all! of which i was surpsised. It was eating a pear that had dropped from a tree.

[DreamHarbinger2]

HOW COULD YOU GET THAT CLOSE TO IT

[AnthonyUK]

when vespa crabro are on their own way from nests they generally avoid people and confrontations and do not go out of their way to cause trouble.

[STILLWANDER]

IS ITS VENOM TOXIC OR NOT

[STILLWANDER]

what type of hornet or wasp was it please reply

[katdenmark]

@STILLWANDER It was a Vespa crabro.

[skydive911]

@katdenmark I just saw one in my backyard! it was like 3 cm tall and not aggressive at all! of which i was surpsised. It was eating a pear that had dropped from a tree.

[lucasroest]

@STILLWANDER Vespa crabro my friend

[Thegamer4447]

@Horrorlord1 im not american

[brianl890]

The Hornet was not near its nest and the European hornet (Vespa Crabro) is not nearly as aggressive as yellow jackets. However they can put the hurt down on you if you inadvertently stumble into a nest site. Individuals are not aggressive when they are away from the nest. I live in Canada and have never seen them in person. A very menacing and large hornet. Nice resolution on the footage.

[ghostslayer54]

Squish it and run!!!

[skaktossen]

De lever ikke i Danmark, og kan ikke leve i Norden. Her er simpelthen for koldt. Dog kan vi kortvarigt importere dem fra skibe, kufferter samt div. andet. Bogen, Roadside Churches, som den kravler på, indikerer at optagelsen ikke, er filmet i Danmark, og alligevel, det forekommer mig, at hvepsen ikke har det godt, den virker ustabil og ubalanceret, og kæmper for at holde sig oppe.

[katdenmark]

@skaktossen Jo, den er filmet i Danmark - ellers havde filmen jo nok også heddet noget andet... Den virker måske lidt forvirret fordi den lige var sat ud på bordet fra et glas, som jeg havde brugt til at transportere den ud fra stuevinduet. Brochuren om kirkerne havde dækket glasset. Bordet kan også ses i filmen om Knuddi der angriber sne. Jeg har iøvrigt set disse hvepse i Danmark flere gange tidligere.

[user500200]

@skaktossen Jeg har set stor gedehams flere år i træk i Danmark, prøv at tage til Jægerspris i august måned så kan du se masser af dem.

[Michaelingolfhansen]

@skaktossen

Vespa Crabro lever skam permanent i Danmark!

De er dog ikke almindelige i alle steder, og jeg har aldrig personligt stødt på dem i storkøbenhavnsområdet, men i Roskilde og omegen omkring fjorden har jeg set masser! De lyder som en helekopter hvis man får dem indefor!

Det er dog mit indtryk at de generelt ikke er så "menneskeopsøgende" og irriterende som Alm. gedehams og tysk gedehams som er dem vi normalt kalder "hvepse"!

[devastaterd]

damn wat amazing creature i dont want to think about it when he stings you

[monkeyfacepuddinhead]

pure evil. put it inside the biggest firework you see and light the fuse. ive hated them ever since i was stung on the arm by one on my day of bad luck. i fell off of my bike into a hedge next to the tree where the hornets nest was and ran for my life but 1 of the ba****ds got up my sleeve and stung me and cos my bike is black with bright orange everything they all swarmed over that as well so i couldn't get back to it for ages.

[Bunomous]

its eyes stretch to the back of its head??

[Thegamer4447]

never going to denmark thumbs up if u agree!

[andreasbanan]

Øj den er klam. Jeg havde nakket den.

[PensandSteelersrock]

Its like yea i'm a star now

[AnnaleeIsAwesome]

Er det dem der larmer utroligt meget når de flyver? Tror det er dem der bor ude i vores skov, har bare aldrig turde komme tæt nok på for at undersøge dem nærmere! 

[raicho20]

If i were you i would be running to nearest bomb shelter if I saw one of those BASTARDS!

[cfcnlr]

it was in fact john connor who had sexual intercourse with this hornet

[cfcnlr]

john macmillan bucked it

[Phishboy26]

As you can see, this is a docile creature and poses no aggressive behavior at all away from its nest. Infact it wont even sting you unless you grab it or step on it. The European Hornet is a beautiful creature who aggressively defend their nests but trys to avoid any confrontations with humans unless the nest is threatened. I guarantee you if this had been a Vespa Vulgaris or Vespa Maculifrons Queen im sure there would have been some stinging going on.

[Phishboy26]

These Hornets defend their nest aggressively and will sting doing so otherwise they try to avoid confrontations with humans as much as possible. They will only sting you if you try to grab it or if you step on it otherwise they are gentle giants and shouldnt be killed or harmed. I love these Giants

[xBraiNshOcK]

go Pokeball!

[AnthonyUK]

Hornets are generally not as aggressive as the common wasp,but they still go for sweet stuff and can still pack a punch with their sting.

[katdenmark]

@mati123ish No , I think it was happy to be a moviestar on Youtube :-)

[HenryNguyen123]

OMG

[MoshEnthusiast]

How could you have the balls to even film that thing! O_o

[fluffywerewolf98]

Its so cute.

[APIC4PINY4L3G]

not wasp from denmark wasp from hell

[MrTmontona]

@APIC4PINY4L3G i though these wasps come from asia?

[MrQuecho]

Beautiful animal

[betacygni]

Is this a queen? She looks GIGANTIC!

[katdenmark]

@betacygni Hi, I am not sure, but I dont think there is a nest near the place where it landed and I dont know if the queen will fly away from the nest here in June. The Victorinox is one of the smallest models...

[AzoraZwizzle]

Beautiful hornet !

[DanishFishing]

ja den har skam lidt størelse :)
