A man in Japan claims he has made a
pet of what is reputed to be the world’s most aggressive insect, the
lethal Japanese giant hornet. The 2in-long insects - which can fly at up
to 25 mph - are feared for their powerful, poisonous stings that are
responsible for about 40 fatalities in Japan every summer. The high
death rate makes them the second most lethal animal in Japan, after man.
Twitter user Mikuru625 reportedly captured the hornet with a butterfly
net and then held it with tweezers while he removed its sting and poison
sacs. After that, he put a string lead around its thorax, and now the
harmless hornet goes everywhere with him. ‘He does bite occasionally but
it doesn’t really hurt,’ said its owner.
"Drunk at the matinee" is a collection of candid poetry about stupid shit that we all experience from day to day.
