Within 15 minutes the giant hornet devoured all the larvae from the colony, after tearing away the lids of the cells.

  • thank you all ... but ...

    insect identification is really a tough job.

  • Thank you ... both of them (the small ones and the big one) belong to the same genus ... I think ... right?

  • no, @Valioth112

    the large hornet is vespa analis, small wasps are paper wasps (genus polybia)

  • The large one is Vespa Velutina, aka the asian predatory wasp, the smaller ones are either Vespa Tropica or Vespa Orientalis :)

  • It looks like Vespa soror.

  • Vespa tropica attack ????(UNKNOWN SPECIES)
