Giant Hornet / Wasp from Denmark

A sweet giant hornet has landed and was filmed before it took off again. Compare it to the Victorinox knife! It is a Vespa crabro.

Stor gedehams (Vespa crabro) er landet og filmes inden den letter igen. Sammenlign den med Victorinox-kniven!

why didn't you step on it ?

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

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.

@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.

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.

i feel sick watching this but i do like the video

[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.

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

[TheZinger69]

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

[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.

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

[samiamred]

@V67850 that is a big ass hornet.

[MrDeelightful]

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