Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:10,445 --> 00:00:12,490
The
Tottori Prefecture
2
00:00:12,621 --> 00:00:14,188
is one of the most
remote stretches
3
00:00:14,318 --> 00:00:17,887
of wilderness in all of Japan.
4
00:00:18,018 --> 00:00:19,454
And mysteriously
hidden deep within
5
00:00:19,584 --> 00:00:22,848
its fog-covered mountains,
a world of giants
6
00:00:22,979 --> 00:00:25,025
stalk this ancient landscape.
7
00:00:29,594 --> 00:00:33,424
For days, we searched
in every place possible.
8
00:00:33,555 --> 00:00:35,861
Yet, much to our
chagrin, it seemed
9
00:00:35,992 --> 00:00:39,169
as if an encounter with
Japan's most notorious insect
10
00:00:39,300 --> 00:00:40,170
would elude us.
11
00:00:43,173 --> 00:00:46,785
Then, on our second-to-last
in country, when it seemed as
12
00:00:46,916 --> 00:00:49,658
if all hope was lost,
the very encounter
13
00:00:49,788 --> 00:00:53,053
I had been searching
for presented itself
14
00:00:53,183 --> 00:00:55,620
in the form of a giant hornet.
15
00:00:58,319 --> 00:00:59,755
Hornet.
Hornet, hornet, hornet.
16
00:00:59,885 --> 00:01:00,799
Hornet.
Hornet, right there.
17
00:01:00,930 --> 00:01:02,062
Right there.
Right there.
18
00:01:02,192 --> 00:01:03,106
Right in the edge of that leaf.
19
00:01:03,237 --> 00:01:04,064
Look at that.
20
00:01:04,194 --> 00:01:04,934
It's huge.
Right there.
21
00:01:05,065 --> 00:01:05,848
Right there.
22
00:01:05,978 --> 00:01:06,979
Right there.
23
00:01:09,591 --> 00:01:10,679
Got it.
Hornet.
24
00:01:10,809 --> 00:01:11,593
Hornet.
25
00:01:11,723 --> 00:01:13,160
Giant Hornet.
100%.
26
00:01:13,290 --> 00:01:13,769
You got one?
Yes.
27
00:01:13,899 --> 00:01:14,465
Yes.
Yes.
28
00:01:14,596 --> 00:01:15,814
Yes.
Yes.
29
00:01:15,945 --> 00:01:17,033
Hold on a second.
Where.
30
00:01:17,164 --> 00:01:17,990
Let me see.
Yes.
31
00:01:18,121 --> 00:01:19,122
Right there.
Right there.
32
00:01:19,253 --> 00:01:20,210
Right there.
Oh!
33
00:01:20,341 --> 00:01:20,732
Dude, you got it.
- Got it.
34
00:01:20,863 --> 00:01:21,864
Hold on.
35
00:01:21,994 --> 00:01:23,213
I'm going to put
this GoPro down.
36
00:01:23,344 --> 00:01:24,258
Wow,
that is a big hornet.
37
00:01:24,388 --> 00:01:25,520
Where is it?
Where is it?
38
00:01:25,650 --> 00:01:26,608
Hold on.
It's right here.
39
00:01:26,738 --> 00:01:28,088
It's right here.
- Right there.
40
00:01:28,218 --> 00:01:29,611
Right there, right there.
Wow.
41
00:01:29,741 --> 00:01:30,307
Can you trap it up against
the front of the net?
42
00:01:30,438 --> 00:01:31,569
Where is it?
43
00:01:31,700 --> 00:01:32,440
It's tangled up
with all these plants.
44
00:01:32,570 --> 00:01:33,223
Where, where, where?
45
00:01:33,354 --> 00:01:34,398
Look, look, look.
46
00:01:34,529 --> 00:01:35,704
It's biting right
through the net.
47
00:01:35,834 --> 00:01:36,618
You
could barely see it.
48
00:01:36,748 --> 00:01:37,662
Here.
Let's do this.
49
00:01:37,793 --> 00:01:39,055
I got to get it in the capsule.
50
00:01:39,186 --> 00:01:40,361
Let's
get it in the capsule.
51
00:01:40,491 --> 00:01:41,623
Yeah.
- Hold on a second.
52
00:01:41,753 --> 00:01:42,493
Here--
You need help?
53
00:01:42,624 --> 00:01:43,364
Hold the end of that.
54
00:01:43,494 --> 00:01:44,060
Hold the end of that.
55
00:01:44,191 --> 00:01:45,235
Yeah.
56
00:01:45,366 --> 00:01:46,280
You guys will be
able to see a lot
57
00:01:46,410 --> 00:01:47,063
better if I get it into here.
58
00:01:47,194 --> 00:01:48,456
Hold on a second.
59
00:01:48,586 --> 00:01:49,457
I don't want to get
stung through the net.
60
00:01:49,587 --> 00:01:50,327
OK.
61
00:01:50,458 --> 00:01:52,199
Ooh.
62
00:01:52,329 --> 00:01:53,765
OK.
63
00:01:53,896 --> 00:01:55,158
Almost got it.
64
00:01:55,289 --> 00:01:55,985
You're
sure it's a giant?
65
00:01:56,116 --> 00:01:56,986
I'm 100% certain, dude.
66
00:01:57,117 --> 00:01:58,292
It's huge.
67
00:01:58,422 --> 00:01:59,510
There's no way this
is anything else.
68
00:01:59,641 --> 00:02:01,599
Look at, it's
biting onto the net.
69
00:02:01,730 --> 00:02:05,081
It'll probably chew right
through there if it could.
70
00:02:05,212 --> 00:02:06,213
Don't get stung yet.
71
00:02:06,343 --> 00:02:06,996
Got it.
Got it.
72
00:02:07,127 --> 00:02:07,518
Got it.
Got it.
73
00:02:07,649 --> 00:02:08,867
Got it.
74
00:02:08,998 --> 00:02:09,390
Let's
get a look at it.
75
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:09,651
Oh, oh.
76
00:02:12,784 --> 00:02:13,742
Look at that.
77
00:02:13,872 --> 00:02:14,612
Wow.
78
00:02:14,743 --> 00:02:15,570
That is it.
79
00:02:15,700 --> 00:02:16,614
Yup.
80
00:02:16,745 --> 00:02:18,050
You got one.
81
00:02:18,181 --> 00:02:19,139
Man!
82
00:02:19,269 --> 00:02:21,010
How about that, right?
83
00:02:21,141 --> 00:02:22,098
Oh my goodness.
84
00:02:22,229 --> 00:02:23,404
Look at how big it is.
85
00:02:23,534 --> 00:02:24,579
My hand is shaking.
86
00:02:24,709 --> 00:02:25,754
How'd you find it?
87
00:02:25,884 --> 00:02:26,711
It was just on
top of the plants.
88
00:02:26,842 --> 00:02:28,017
That's all.
89
00:02:28,148 --> 00:02:29,714
I saw it was about
ready to take off.
90
00:02:29,845 --> 00:02:30,759
And I was like, I don't know
if I got the shot on the GoPro.
91
00:02:30,889 --> 00:02:32,152
Just dropped it into the dirt.
92
00:02:32,282 --> 00:02:33,892
I just had to make
sure that I got it.
93
00:02:34,023 --> 00:02:37,679
I swiped down right on top of
those plants, got the plants,
94
00:02:37,809 --> 00:02:39,681
and got the hornet
at the same time.
95
00:02:39,811 --> 00:02:42,118
It is huge.
96
00:02:42,249 --> 00:02:44,120
Wow.
97
00:02:44,251 --> 00:02:46,383
I guess that's why they
call it the giant hornet.
98
00:02:46,514 --> 00:02:47,689
Man.
99
00:02:47,819 --> 00:02:49,386
OK, well, we're
starting to lose light.
100
00:02:49,517 --> 00:02:51,388
But we definitely still
have time to get the scene.
101
00:02:51,519 --> 00:02:53,260
Let's hike back up this
way, find a flat spot.
102
00:02:53,390 --> 00:02:54,522
Yes.
103
00:02:54,652 --> 00:02:56,306
We have got the
Japanese Giant Hornet.
104
00:02:56,437 --> 00:02:57,351
Man.
105
00:02:57,481 --> 00:02:58,265
Oh yeah.
106
00:03:09,232 --> 00:03:10,451
There it is.
107
00:03:10,581 --> 00:03:14,150
The Japanese Giant Hornet.
108
00:03:14,281 --> 00:03:17,849
And I would say, the giant
is an understatement.
109
00:03:17,980 --> 00:03:21,636
Not since the tarantula
hawk have we encountered
110
00:03:21,766 --> 00:03:24,682
a more intimidating insect.
111
00:03:24,813 --> 00:03:26,249
Look at that beast.
112
00:03:26,380 --> 00:03:29,992
From its head to its
thorax, down its legs
113
00:03:30,122 --> 00:03:32,603
which end in grappling
hooked feet, and then,
114
00:03:32,734 --> 00:03:35,389
of course, that enormous
pulsating abdomen.
115
00:03:35,519 --> 00:03:39,654
Everything about
this creature screams
116
00:03:39,784 --> 00:03:41,395
run in the other direction.
117
00:03:41,525 --> 00:03:43,788
Yet, here we are,
on the doorstep
118
00:03:43,919 --> 00:03:45,573
of the executioner wasp.
119
00:03:45,703 --> 00:03:47,314
What we're going
to find out today
120
00:03:47,444 --> 00:03:51,622
is just how painful the sting
of this hornet really is.
121
00:03:51,753 --> 00:03:56,018
Now, on the insect sting pain
index, it only ranks as a two.
122
00:03:56,148 --> 00:03:57,498
Can you believe that?
123
00:03:57,628 --> 00:04:00,588
On a scale of one to
four, this is only a two.
124
00:04:00,718 --> 00:04:02,894
Maybe its bark is
bigger than its bite.
125
00:04:03,025 --> 00:04:06,333
Or in this case, I
should say, its sting.
126
00:04:06,463 --> 00:04:09,379
Today, I'm going to be
stung by the largest
127
00:04:09,510 --> 00:04:11,033
hornet in the world.
All right.
128
00:04:11,163 --> 00:04:12,513
What we're going to
do now is get a couple
129
00:04:12,643 --> 00:04:14,166
of really cool b-roll shots.
130
00:04:14,297 --> 00:04:16,517
I'm going to walk around,
address the coyote pack.
131
00:04:16,647 --> 00:04:19,520
And then, we're going
to enter the sting zone.
132
00:04:19,650 --> 00:04:20,477
Phew.
133
00:04:20,608 --> 00:04:21,783
I am nervous.
134
00:04:21,913 --> 00:04:22,784
Whoo.
135
00:04:28,529 --> 00:04:30,313
The
Japanese Giant Hornet
136
00:04:30,444 --> 00:04:32,054
is considered to be
one of the largest
137
00:04:32,184 --> 00:04:34,752
stinging insects in the world.
138
00:04:34,883 --> 00:04:37,102
This nightmarish
creature is armed
139
00:04:37,233 --> 00:04:40,149
with a 6.25 millimeter stinger.
140
00:04:40,280 --> 00:04:44,501
And it injects a venom known as
mandaratoxin in a high dosage
141
00:04:44,632 --> 00:04:47,461
that can destroy tissue and
attack the nervous system
142
00:04:47,591 --> 00:04:50,377
of its victim.
143
00:04:50,507 --> 00:04:54,119
And while a single sting
is not likely to be deadly,
144
00:04:54,250 --> 00:04:56,774
over 30 people die
every year in Japan
145
00:04:56,905 --> 00:05:00,387
from taking multiple stings.
146
00:05:00,517 --> 00:05:03,433
In most cases, these
deaths come as a result
147
00:05:03,564 --> 00:05:05,348
of anaphylactic shock.
148
00:05:05,479 --> 00:05:07,437
But no matter how
you break it down,
149
00:05:07,568 --> 00:05:12,790
this sting is
incredibly dangerous.
150
00:05:12,921 --> 00:05:14,618
Whoo.
151
00:05:14,749 --> 00:05:16,054
That is a big hornet.
152
00:05:16,185 --> 00:05:18,492
That is a huge hornet.
153
00:05:18,622 --> 00:05:21,625
The biggest hornet on
the face of the planet.
154
00:05:21,756 --> 00:05:26,151
And I have a feeling that the
sting is going to be intense.
155
00:05:26,282 --> 00:05:30,504
Now, it's rumored that the sting
of this insect can kill you.
156
00:05:30,634 --> 00:05:34,159
Guys, a single sting is not
going to kill me unless I
157
00:05:34,290 --> 00:05:35,596
go into anaphylactic shock.
158
00:05:35,726 --> 00:05:38,468
Now, if you were to be
swarmed by 30 or 40 bees
159
00:05:38,599 --> 00:05:40,775
and be stung
repetitively, yes, there
160
00:05:40,905 --> 00:05:42,298
is a good chance you will die.
161
00:05:42,429 --> 00:05:44,082
I've also heard
that the venom is
162
00:05:44,213 --> 00:05:48,391
going to cook a hole in my arm.
163
00:05:48,522 --> 00:05:50,306
Not exactly looking
forward to that.
164
00:05:50,437 --> 00:05:54,049
But it all depends how my
body reacts to the venom.
165
00:05:54,179 --> 00:05:55,529
Everybody reacts differently.
166
00:05:55,659 --> 00:05:56,965
You guys have to remember that.
167
00:05:57,095 --> 00:05:59,446
So I'm going to go
through with this.
168
00:05:59,576 --> 00:06:01,317
I know a lot of you
are probably running
169
00:06:01,448 --> 00:06:02,927
to the comments section
right now saying, Coyote,
170
00:06:03,058 --> 00:06:04,668
you don't have to do this.
You don't have to do this.
171
00:06:04,799 --> 00:06:06,061
I do have to do this.
172
00:06:06,191 --> 00:06:08,759
We have climbed the
insect sting pain index.
173
00:06:08,890 --> 00:06:11,588
And this is the only
one, guys, the only one
174
00:06:11,719 --> 00:06:14,896
that I think we just have to
find out how bad that sting is.
175
00:06:15,026 --> 00:06:16,332
It's so big.
176
00:06:16,463 --> 00:06:18,943
It's such a dominant
character throughout all
177
00:06:19,074 --> 00:06:20,684
of Japanese culture.
178
00:06:20,815 --> 00:06:22,512
And certainly, when it comes
to the insect sting pain index,
179
00:06:22,643 --> 00:06:25,385
I don't think we can
leave this stone unturned.
180
00:06:25,515 --> 00:06:28,213
So if you guys are ready,
I think the crew is ready.
181
00:06:28,344 --> 00:06:29,824
It is time to enter
the sting zone
182
00:06:29,954 --> 00:06:33,784
with the Japanese Giant Hornet.
183
00:06:33,915 --> 00:06:35,177
Whoo.
184
00:06:35,307 --> 00:06:37,222
Here we go.
185
00:06:37,353 --> 00:06:38,267
Oh.
186
00:06:44,447 --> 00:06:45,796
Warning.
187
00:06:45,927 --> 00:06:48,495
Never attempt to recreate
the following scene,
188
00:06:48,625 --> 00:06:52,760
as a sting from the Giant Hornet
has the potential to be lethal.
189
00:06:56,285 --> 00:06:57,678
All right, guys.
190
00:06:57,808 --> 00:07:01,246
This is it the moment that
you all showed up for.
191
00:07:01,377 --> 00:07:02,944
Now, before we go
through with the sting,
192
00:07:03,074 --> 00:07:06,164
first let's talk a little
bit about the safety.
193
00:07:06,295 --> 00:07:08,863
We do have an
epinephrine pen with us.
194
00:07:08,993 --> 00:07:12,344
Now, a single sting from this
hornet should not kill me.
195
00:07:12,475 --> 00:07:16,479
However, like most stings, you
can go into anaphylactic shock.
196
00:07:16,610 --> 00:07:19,439
It just depends how your
body reacts to the venom.
197
00:07:19,569 --> 00:07:21,658
I should be just fine.
198
00:07:21,789 --> 00:07:24,748
I will experience some pain,
discomfort, and potentially
199
00:07:24,879 --> 00:07:26,097
some pretty extreme swelling.
200
00:07:26,228 --> 00:07:28,230
But I shouldn't die
from a single sting.
201
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:30,885
I do have my entomology
forceps with me.
202
00:07:31,015 --> 00:07:33,975
What we're going to do is
get the insect into the net.
203
00:07:34,105 --> 00:07:35,629
And then I'm going to
get it under control--
204
00:07:35,759 --> 00:07:37,805
same way we've done all the
sting videos in the past.
205
00:07:37,935 --> 00:07:39,154
Are you guys ready?
206
00:07:39,284 --> 00:07:40,329
Sounds good.
Are you ready to do this?
207
00:07:40,460 --> 00:07:41,243
Here we go.
208
00:07:41,373 --> 00:07:43,027
All right.
209
00:07:43,158 --> 00:07:43,898
All right.
210
00:07:44,028 --> 00:07:46,770
Net coming up.
211
00:07:46,901 --> 00:07:48,642
This is probably one
of the most risky bits.
212
00:07:48,772 --> 00:07:51,122
We do not want to
lose the hornet.
213
00:07:51,253 --> 00:07:54,474
And I do not want to
get stung too early.
214
00:07:54,604 --> 00:07:56,737
I'm going to gently
stand up here.
215
00:07:56,867 --> 00:08:00,741
Put the basin of the capsule
at the bottom of the net.
216
00:08:00,871 --> 00:08:04,048
And hornet is going
live inside the net.
217
00:08:04,179 --> 00:08:06,224
Let me get the platform out.
218
00:08:06,355 --> 00:08:07,225
Here we go.
219
00:08:07,356 --> 00:08:11,186
Platform is out of the net.
220
00:08:11,316 --> 00:08:14,624
And come on guy.
221
00:08:14,755 --> 00:08:15,669
Out you go.
222
00:08:15,799 --> 00:08:16,713
All right.
223
00:08:16,844 --> 00:08:19,150
Hornet is out of the capsule.
224
00:08:19,281 --> 00:08:21,196
There we go.
225
00:08:21,326 --> 00:08:22,545
So I'm going to keep
the capsule close.
226
00:08:22,676 --> 00:08:23,894
You guys know the
goal is to always
227
00:08:24,025 --> 00:08:26,157
get the capsule back
on top of the insect
228
00:08:26,288 --> 00:08:28,072
before it flies away.
229
00:08:28,203 --> 00:08:29,596
I'll place that there
for just a second.
230
00:08:29,726 --> 00:08:30,727
Whoo.
231
00:08:30,858 --> 00:08:32,947
And now, it gets intense.
232
00:08:33,077 --> 00:08:36,428
I have to figure out the best
way to pick up this giant.
233
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:38,735
I want to grab right onto
the back of its thorax
234
00:08:38,866 --> 00:08:41,390
behind the wings so
I have full control.
235
00:08:41,521 --> 00:08:42,957
All right, you guys
got a good shot.
236
00:08:43,087 --> 00:08:44,306
And I'm going to
slightly have to maneuver
237
00:08:44,436 --> 00:08:46,308
myself just a little bit here.
238
00:08:46,438 --> 00:08:47,178
Oh.
239
00:08:47,309 --> 00:08:48,789
It is not happy.
240
00:08:48,919 --> 00:08:51,487
This is one angry hornet.
241
00:08:51,618 --> 00:08:52,401
Hold on.
242
00:08:52,532 --> 00:08:53,707
Hold on.
243
00:08:53,837 --> 00:08:55,709
I got to get it.
244
00:08:55,839 --> 00:08:56,623
Oh, it's turning.
245
00:08:56,753 --> 00:08:58,059
Hold on a second.
246
00:08:58,189 --> 00:08:59,364
My hand is shaking.
247
00:08:59,495 --> 00:09:00,801
Aah.
248
00:09:00,931 --> 00:09:02,063
Control your nerves, Coyote.
249
00:09:02,193 --> 00:09:03,630
Control your nerves.
250
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:05,893
My heart is racing a
million miles a second,
251
00:09:06,023 --> 00:09:08,069
and I can't keep my hands
still to grab onto the insect.
252
00:09:08,199 --> 00:09:09,374
Hold on.
253
00:09:09,505 --> 00:09:10,811
Ah.
254
00:09:10,941 --> 00:09:12,377
The hornet is actually
biting onto the forceps.
255
00:09:18,470 --> 00:09:20,690
Actually, I'm going
to pin it like this.
256
00:09:20,821 --> 00:09:21,604
OK.
257
00:09:21,735 --> 00:09:22,562
I've got it.
258
00:09:22,692 --> 00:09:23,475
I've got it.
259
00:09:23,606 --> 00:09:24,476
Perfect hold.
260
00:09:24,607 --> 00:09:26,522
That's what we want.
261
00:09:26,653 --> 00:09:27,436
Phew.
262
00:09:27,567 --> 00:09:28,568
Wow.
263
00:09:28,698 --> 00:09:29,960
All right.
264
00:09:30,091 --> 00:09:33,398
Everyone just take a
moment to soak this in.
265
00:09:33,529 --> 00:09:36,445
That is an enormous hornet.
266
00:09:36,576 --> 00:09:38,621
Look at its abdomen pulsating.
267
00:09:38,752 --> 00:09:39,796
And you look at the mandibles.
268
00:09:39,927 --> 00:09:41,842
Those are used for chomping.
269
00:09:41,972 --> 00:09:44,105
I think I may also take
a bite during this video
270
00:09:44,235 --> 00:09:45,933
as well, which I'm
kind of afraid of.
271
00:09:46,063 --> 00:09:48,196
And if you zoom in on the
legs, you can see that they
272
00:09:48,326 --> 00:09:49,501
have these little hooks.
273
00:09:49,632 --> 00:09:51,591
They almost look
like grappling hooks.
274
00:09:51,721 --> 00:09:53,505
And one thing that
also scares me-- there
275
00:09:53,636 --> 00:09:55,943
is the chance it's going
to latch onto my arm
276
00:09:56,073 --> 00:09:57,640
and sting more than once.
277
00:09:57,771 --> 00:10:00,251
Phew.
278
00:10:00,382 --> 00:10:02,253
I can't stop my
hand from shaking.
279
00:10:02,384 --> 00:10:04,516
I haven't been this nervous
since the tarantula hawk.
280
00:10:04,647 --> 00:10:05,169
Sure
you want to do this?
281
00:10:05,300 --> 00:10:06,518
Yeah.
282
00:10:06,649 --> 00:10:07,258
There's no turning back now.
All right.
283
00:10:07,389 --> 00:10:08,346
You guys ready?
284
00:10:08,477 --> 00:10:09,696
Ready if you are.
285
00:10:09,826 --> 00:10:11,567
I'm Coyote Peterson.
286
00:10:11,698 --> 00:10:13,047
And I'm about to
enter the sting zone
287
00:10:13,177 --> 00:10:16,877
with the Japanese Giant Hornet.
288
00:10:17,007 --> 00:10:22,622
One, two-- here we go-- three.
289
00:10:27,583 --> 00:10:28,889
Aah!
290
00:10:29,019 --> 00:10:30,194
Oh, This thing's
stuck in my arm.
291
00:10:30,325 --> 00:10:31,195
Oh.
292
00:10:37,288 --> 00:10:38,594
Ooooh.
293
00:10:38,725 --> 00:10:39,856
How bad is it?
294
00:10:39,987 --> 00:10:42,337
Oh man, wave of
dizziness really quick.
295
00:10:42,467 --> 00:10:44,644
Ah.
296
00:10:44,774 --> 00:10:45,645
Ooh.
297
00:10:45,775 --> 00:10:47,734
Oh, searing pain.
298
00:10:47,864 --> 00:10:49,344
Absolute searing pain.
299
00:10:49,474 --> 00:10:50,432
There's where the
stinger went in.
300
00:10:50,562 --> 00:10:51,781
Right there.
301
00:10:51,912 --> 00:10:53,217
Did you not see how
slow the sting was?
302
00:10:53,348 --> 00:10:54,088
Oh!
303
00:10:54,218 --> 00:10:55,567
I see blood.
304
00:10:55,698 --> 00:10:56,873
Aah.
305
00:10:57,004 --> 00:10:58,396
Oh, my gosh.
306
00:10:58,527 --> 00:10:59,441
Aaah.
307
00:11:02,749 --> 00:11:04,533
Aah.
308
00:11:04,664 --> 00:11:06,143
Oh my gosh.
309
00:11:06,274 --> 00:11:07,754
I know
it's tough to describe it.
310
00:11:07,884 --> 00:11:08,842
You got to describe it for us.
What's it like?
311
00:11:08,972 --> 00:11:09,451
OK.
OK.
312
00:11:09,581 --> 00:11:11,018
OK.
313
00:11:11,148 --> 00:11:13,716
My hand is completely seized
up and locked in place.
314
00:11:13,847 --> 00:11:16,284
Just like the tarantula hawk,
look at the swelling that's
315
00:11:16,414 --> 00:11:18,460
beginning to form on my arm.
316
00:11:18,590 --> 00:11:19,940
Forearm is incredibly taut.
317
00:11:20,070 --> 00:11:22,029
Only about 45
seconds have gone by.
318
00:11:22,159 --> 00:11:23,595
Careful not to
edge,
319
00:11:23,726 --> 00:11:25,032
by the way.
320
00:11:25,162 --> 00:11:25,641
Let's move it over
there, and get over here.
321
00:11:25,772 --> 00:11:26,903
Back up.
322
00:11:27,034 --> 00:11:27,861
Back up, back up,
back up, back up.
323
00:11:27,991 --> 00:11:28,818
Aah.
324
00:11:31,255 --> 00:11:33,083
You got to
tell us if you're in trouble.
325
00:11:33,214 --> 00:11:34,781
Are you going to be OK?
326
00:11:34,911 --> 00:11:40,395
When the stinger went into
my arm, I had this like wave--
327
00:11:40,525 --> 00:11:41,918
like a wave came over me.
328
00:11:42,049 --> 00:11:43,659
And I got super dizzy.
329
00:11:43,790 --> 00:11:45,705
Almost didn't feel
what was happening.
330
00:11:45,835 --> 00:11:48,620
And then, the pain just
was like immediate--
331
00:11:48,751 --> 00:11:51,014
immediately searing.
332
00:11:51,145 --> 00:11:52,799
Aah.
333
00:11:52,929 --> 00:11:54,017
Oh.
334
00:11:54,148 --> 00:11:55,410
Look at your arm.
335
00:11:55,540 --> 00:11:56,367
Oh my gosh.
336
00:11:56,498 --> 00:11:58,152
Look at that.
337
00:11:58,282 --> 00:11:59,327
Look at that.
338
00:11:59,457 --> 00:12:00,458
Wow.
339
00:12:00,589 --> 00:12:03,070
You are swelling like crazy.
340
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:03,984
He's swelling up bad.
341
00:12:04,114 --> 00:12:05,028
Aah.
342
00:12:05,159 --> 00:12:06,682
Hang on a second.
343
00:12:06,813 --> 00:12:07,727
Let's put a circle around
where the swelling site is.
344
00:12:07,857 --> 00:12:08,771
Yeah.
345
00:12:08,902 --> 00:12:09,772
To see the progression of it.
346
00:12:09,903 --> 00:12:11,469
Aah.
347
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:13,907
This is the outer,
and then, that
348
00:12:14,037 --> 00:12:16,213
is the immediate right there.
349
00:12:16,344 --> 00:12:18,172
Aaah.
350
00:12:18,302 --> 00:12:23,090
Oh man.
351
00:12:23,220 --> 00:12:24,178
Aah.
352
00:12:24,308 --> 00:12:25,788
Not a two.
353
00:12:25,919 --> 00:12:28,530
Far surpasses the
tarantula hawk.
354
00:12:28,660 --> 00:12:30,532
Far surpass the tarantula hawk.
355
00:12:30,662 --> 00:12:32,577
Aah.
356
00:12:32,708 --> 00:12:33,448
Here, here, here.
357
00:12:33,578 --> 00:12:35,015
Look at this.
358
00:12:35,145 --> 00:12:38,888
If I turn my arm sideways,
look at the welt on my--
359
00:12:39,019 --> 00:12:40,585
oh, oh, oh, oh, OK.
360
00:12:40,716 --> 00:12:41,935
Can't touch near it.
361
00:12:42,065 --> 00:12:44,807
Sharp shooting pain
if I touch near it.
362
00:12:44,938 --> 00:12:45,982
Wow.
363
00:12:46,113 --> 00:12:47,723
Oh my gosh.
364
00:12:47,854 --> 00:12:50,160
I can see that your wrist
is starting to swell.
365
00:12:50,291 --> 00:12:53,033
Do you want to take
your watch off?
366
00:12:53,163 --> 00:12:54,295
Need help?
- I got it.
367
00:12:54,425 --> 00:12:55,296
I got it.
I got it.
368
00:12:55,426 --> 00:12:56,427
Oh.
Yeah.
369
00:12:56,558 --> 00:12:57,472
That's better.
- Oh.
370
00:13:00,954 --> 00:13:03,434
No relief yet.
371
00:13:03,565 --> 00:13:06,263
It's just a matter of
harnessing the pain,
372
00:13:06,394 --> 00:13:08,004
controlling the level of pain.
373
00:13:08,135 --> 00:13:12,052
And rolling around on the ground
and screaming at this point
374
00:13:12,182 --> 00:13:13,357
really isn't doing me any good.
375
00:13:15,272 --> 00:13:16,839
All right.
376
00:13:16,970 --> 00:13:18,188
Let's cut cameras and come
back in about five minutes.
377
00:13:18,319 --> 00:13:19,233
Let me get a drink of water.
378
00:13:26,457 --> 00:13:27,589
All right, man.
379
00:13:27,719 --> 00:13:29,373
Well, I could
definitely see that--
380
00:13:29,504 --> 00:13:30,766
Don't touch it.
I'm not.
381
00:13:30,897 --> 00:13:32,072
I'm not going to touch you.
382
00:13:32,202 --> 00:13:33,856
I just want to show
everyone at home,
383
00:13:33,987 --> 00:13:37,991
the swelling has completely gone
outside of these initial marks.
384
00:13:38,121 --> 00:13:40,297
I mean, and I don't think
you're out of the woods yet.
385
00:13:40,428 --> 00:13:42,212
I think that's going to
swell a whole lot worse.
386
00:13:42,343 --> 00:13:43,605
Yeah.
387
00:13:43,735 --> 00:13:45,520
We are only 20 minutes
in at this point.
388
00:13:45,650 --> 00:13:49,393
20 minutes since that stinger
went deep into my forearm.
389
00:13:49,524 --> 00:13:51,308
You could see the
discoloration in my skin
390
00:13:51,439 --> 00:13:53,267
there, the massive goose
egg that has formed.
391
00:13:53,397 --> 00:13:55,835
The venom has worked
its way up my arm.
392
00:13:55,965 --> 00:13:57,271
Can
you show us the lump?
393
00:13:57,401 --> 00:13:59,403
Can you hold your arm up at all?
394
00:13:59,534 --> 00:14:02,580
Oh my goodness.
395
00:14:02,711 --> 00:14:04,017
Wow.
396
00:14:04,147 --> 00:14:06,280
I'm sure you guys want
to know how this feels
397
00:14:06,410 --> 00:14:10,371
as compared to some of the other
top insects on the sting index.
398
00:14:10,501 --> 00:14:13,853
It blows the cow killer
out of the water.
399
00:14:13,983 --> 00:14:15,202
No comparison.
400
00:14:15,332 --> 00:14:17,595
It definitely trumps
the tarantula hawk.
401
00:14:17,726 --> 00:14:19,946
When we're talking bullet
ant, I would definitely
402
00:14:20,076 --> 00:14:21,861
say that at this
point, it is on par.
403
00:14:21,991 --> 00:14:23,993
And in just one
month, the episode
404
00:14:24,124 --> 00:14:25,516
you have all been waiting for--
405
00:14:25,647 --> 00:14:27,997
the sting of the
executioner wasp
406
00:14:28,128 --> 00:14:32,132
will determine who the true
king of sting really is.
407
00:14:32,262 --> 00:14:34,612
We're going to monitor this
sting for the next 24 hours
408
00:14:34,743 --> 00:14:36,092
and see what happens.
409
00:14:36,223 --> 00:14:38,399
I can promise you this much.
410
00:14:38,529 --> 00:14:41,097
I've got a world of pain ahead
of me for the next few hours.
411
00:14:41,228 --> 00:14:42,707
All right.
412
00:14:42,838 --> 00:14:44,187
Let's get an outro and get
back down to civilization.
413
00:14:44,318 --> 00:14:45,058
You ready?
414
00:14:45,188 --> 00:14:46,363
Yep.
415
00:14:46,494 --> 00:14:47,712
I'm Coyote Petersen.
416
00:14:47,843 --> 00:14:49,976
Be brave.
417
00:14:50,106 --> 00:14:51,803
Stay wild.
418
00:14:51,934 --> 00:14:53,327
We'll see on the next adventure.
419
00:14:53,457 --> 00:14:54,284
Man.
420
00:14:54,415 --> 00:14:56,243
Oh, that was a bad one.
421
00:15:02,162 --> 00:15:03,511
All right guys.
422
00:15:03,641 --> 00:15:06,340
Right now, we are on
location in West Virginia.
423
00:15:06,470 --> 00:15:11,388
And this big glorious bush
behind me is known as a Lilac.
424
00:15:11,519 --> 00:15:13,521
It's not currently in bloom.
425
00:15:13,651 --> 00:15:17,177
But its bark and its
sap are incredibly
426
00:15:17,307 --> 00:15:21,659
valuable to a number of
different wasp species,
427
00:15:21,790 --> 00:15:23,183
including hornets.
428
00:15:23,313 --> 00:15:27,013
And we have seen a very
large hornet this morning.
429
00:15:27,143 --> 00:15:30,973
Is it possible that there are
giant hornets in West Virginia?
430
00:15:31,104 --> 00:15:33,802
I'm going to catch one, and
we're going to find out.
431
00:15:33,933 --> 00:15:38,459
So Mario, what is it that
we know about hornets?
432
00:15:38,589 --> 00:15:39,939
Well,
we know that they're
433
00:15:40,069 --> 00:15:41,897
actually a type of wasp.
434
00:15:42,028 --> 00:15:45,335
In fact, all hornets are wasps.
435
00:15:45,466 --> 00:15:48,730
But not all wasps are hornets.
436
00:15:48,860 --> 00:15:51,646
Oh, there's one.
437
00:15:51,776 --> 00:15:53,909
There's one flying
around up there.
438
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:55,650
Impossible to see on
this small camera.
439
00:15:55,780 --> 00:15:57,478
But boy, are they big.
440
00:15:57,608 --> 00:16:00,220
So what they're doing right now
is actually stripping the bark
441
00:16:00,350 --> 00:16:02,962
so that they can take
it, chew it up, and build
442
00:16:03,092 --> 00:16:06,487
the walls of their paper nests.
443
00:16:06,617 --> 00:16:07,662
Oh, there's one.
There's one.
444
00:16:07,792 --> 00:16:09,098
There's one.
445
00:16:09,229 --> 00:16:12,362
Man, they are all over
these Lilac bushes.
446
00:16:12,493 --> 00:16:13,233
They're higher up though.
447
00:16:13,363 --> 00:16:14,843
Oh man.
448
00:16:14,974 --> 00:16:16,149
Here's one right here out
in the sun on this branch.
449
00:16:16,279 --> 00:16:17,063
See it right here?
450
00:16:17,193 --> 00:16:18,020
Oh.
451
00:16:20,283 --> 00:16:21,937
Oh, I missed it.
452
00:16:22,068 --> 00:16:22,851
Oh, now they're angry.
453
00:16:22,982 --> 00:16:23,765
Hold on.
454
00:16:23,895 --> 00:16:25,245
Don't move.
455
00:16:25,375 --> 00:16:26,420
Oh, that really made 'em angry.
456
00:16:26,550 --> 00:16:27,638
Coming right at you.
457
00:16:27,769 --> 00:16:28,639
Look out, there's one.
There's one.
458
00:16:28,770 --> 00:16:29,336
Here, take this.
Take this.
459
00:16:29,466 --> 00:16:30,337
Take this.
460
00:16:33,383 --> 00:16:35,037
Moving up through the
branches right now.
461
00:16:40,129 --> 00:16:41,261
I got it.
I got it.
462
00:16:41,391 --> 00:16:42,175
I got it.
Got it.
463
00:16:42,305 --> 00:16:42,653
I got it.
I got it.
464
00:16:42,784 --> 00:16:43,654
Yes.
465
00:16:43,785 --> 00:16:44,481
Oh, I thought I missed it.
466
00:16:44,612 --> 00:16:45,439
I've got it.
467
00:16:45,569 --> 00:16:46,440
Check that out.
468
00:16:46,570 --> 00:16:48,355
Wow, that's a big hornet.
469
00:16:48,485 --> 00:16:49,399
Yes.
470
00:16:49,530 --> 00:16:50,357
Here.
471
00:16:50,487 --> 00:16:51,575
Let me give you this.
472
00:16:51,706 --> 00:16:53,186
OK.
473
00:16:53,316 --> 00:16:57,755
We have got what may be West
Virginia's Giant Hornet.
474
00:16:57,886 --> 00:17:00,497
But is it an invader?
475
00:17:00,628 --> 00:17:03,848
OK, let me see if I can get it
inside the bug capsule here.
476
00:17:03,979 --> 00:17:04,719
Yes.
477
00:17:04,849 --> 00:17:07,548
Look at that beast.
478
00:17:07,678 --> 00:17:09,854
Oh.
479
00:17:09,985 --> 00:17:14,685
That is a very, very
intimidating insect
480
00:17:14,816 --> 00:17:15,686
right there.
481
00:17:15,817 --> 00:17:17,253
All right.
482
00:17:17,384 --> 00:17:19,255
Let's get this bug up
into a controlled setting,
483
00:17:19,386 --> 00:17:21,083
properly identify
and determine--
484
00:17:21,214 --> 00:17:25,783
is this an invasive murder
hornet here in West Virginia?
485
00:17:28,743 --> 00:17:30,179
Here we are again.
486
00:17:30,310 --> 00:17:33,748
Coyote Peterson, sitting
at a table, with an EpiPen,
487
00:17:33,878 --> 00:17:37,099
a pair of entomology forceps,
and a stinging insect
488
00:17:37,230 --> 00:17:38,796
inside of a container.
489
00:17:38,927 --> 00:17:39,841
It's a big bug.
490
00:17:39,971 --> 00:17:41,277
There's no question about it.
491
00:17:41,408 --> 00:17:42,931
It's a hornet.
492
00:17:43,062 --> 00:17:47,283
But the question is, is that
an invasive murder hornet?
493
00:17:47,414 --> 00:17:51,809
Now, in 2020, the giant
hornet was supposedly
494
00:17:51,940 --> 00:17:53,550
invading the United States.
495
00:17:53,681 --> 00:17:55,161
I've been very vocal
in saying that this
496
00:17:55,291 --> 00:17:57,337
is not likely to happen.
497
00:17:57,467 --> 00:17:59,817
And recently, we also
showed you another large
498
00:17:59,948 --> 00:18:01,558
flying stinging insect
here in the United
499
00:18:01,689 --> 00:18:03,386
States, the cicada killer.
500
00:18:03,517 --> 00:18:05,258
That species is a sand wasp.
501
00:18:05,388 --> 00:18:08,304
And they're famous for
killing cicadas, not humans.
502
00:18:08,435 --> 00:18:11,568
This right here is
not a cicada killer.
503
00:18:11,699 --> 00:18:13,657
In fact, it is a true hornet--
504
00:18:13,788 --> 00:18:15,833
a very large hornet.
505
00:18:15,964 --> 00:18:17,487
And there are a number of
different hornet species
506
00:18:17,618 --> 00:18:19,272
here in the United States.
507
00:18:19,402 --> 00:18:22,536
And like Mario said earlier, all
hornets are technically wasps,
508
00:18:22,666 --> 00:18:25,016
but not all wasps are hornets.
509
00:18:25,147 --> 00:18:26,496
Now, if you were to go
out into your backyard
510
00:18:26,627 --> 00:18:28,019
and see one of these
things flying around,
511
00:18:28,150 --> 00:18:29,760
it sounds like an
Apache helicopter.
512
00:18:29,891 --> 00:18:31,675
And I guarantee you, you're
probably going to be thinking
513
00:18:31,806 --> 00:18:34,330
to yourself, oh my gosh, I
saw the news stories or I,
514
00:18:34,461 --> 00:18:36,289
saw in Brave
Wilderness that this
515
00:18:36,419 --> 00:18:37,333
is what a murder hornet is.
516
00:18:37,464 --> 00:18:39,466
It's got to be a murder hornet.
517
00:18:39,596 --> 00:18:41,511
Guys, it's not a murder hornet.
518
00:18:41,642 --> 00:18:43,078
It is a big hornet.
519
00:18:43,209 --> 00:18:45,733
In fact, the largest hornet
in the United States,
520
00:18:45,863 --> 00:18:47,648
known as the European Hornet.
521
00:18:47,778 --> 00:18:49,215
Now, what's unique
about this hornet
522
00:18:49,345 --> 00:18:50,955
species specifically
is that it's
523
00:18:51,086 --> 00:18:54,742
one of the species that builds
its paper nest above ground.
524
00:18:54,872 --> 00:18:57,832
Oftentimes, true hornets
build their nests underground.
525
00:18:57,962 --> 00:19:00,008
But this one will
collect the sticky sap
526
00:19:00,139 --> 00:19:02,315
from different trees,
rip off pieces of bark,
527
00:19:02,445 --> 00:19:05,274
chew it up in its mandibles, and
take it back to its paper nest
528
00:19:05,405 --> 00:19:07,581
to continue building
that structure.
529
00:19:07,711 --> 00:19:09,496
Now, if you come across
one of these nests,
530
00:19:09,626 --> 00:19:12,412
you do not want to
try and destroy it.
531
00:19:12,542 --> 00:19:14,022
Don't spray it with spray.
532
00:19:14,153 --> 00:19:15,676
Don't try to light it on fire.
533
00:19:15,806 --> 00:19:18,244
Because if these
insects recognize
534
00:19:18,374 --> 00:19:20,898
that their home is being
disturbed, they will attack.
535
00:19:21,029 --> 00:19:23,074
And they will attack with force.
536
00:19:23,205 --> 00:19:25,555
So what I want to do now
is get this insect out
537
00:19:25,686 --> 00:19:27,731
of the plastic container
and take a look at some
538
00:19:27,862 --> 00:19:29,603
of its more unique features.
539
00:19:29,733 --> 00:19:31,648
To do that, I'm going to
have to get it in the net
540
00:19:31,779 --> 00:19:35,913
and pick it up with the forceps.
541
00:19:36,044 --> 00:19:40,353
I'm going to give it a little
space on the backside there.
542
00:19:40,483 --> 00:19:41,745
Perfect.
543
00:19:41,876 --> 00:19:45,227
Now, it's down into
the lower section.
544
00:19:45,358 --> 00:19:49,188
And I can do this,
which will cause
545
00:19:49,318 --> 00:19:51,625
it to walk up and into the net.
546
00:19:51,755 --> 00:19:52,539
Go up.
547
00:19:52,669 --> 00:19:53,453
Go up.
548
00:19:53,583 --> 00:19:54,976
There we go.
549
00:19:55,106 --> 00:19:56,151
Plastic container comes down.
550
00:19:56,282 --> 00:19:57,065
Boom.
551
00:19:57,196 --> 00:19:58,632
Insect is secured.
552
00:19:58,762 --> 00:19:59,633
Look at that.
553
00:19:59,763 --> 00:20:01,243
Worked like a charm.
554
00:20:01,374 --> 00:20:04,203
These forceps-- got to
be real careful to get
555
00:20:04,333 --> 00:20:08,903
the bug right on its thorax so
that I don't injure its wings.
556
00:20:09,033 --> 00:20:09,947
Got it.
557
00:20:12,820 --> 00:20:15,257
That's a good hold right there.
558
00:20:15,388 --> 00:20:19,957
That is the European Hornet.
559
00:20:20,088 --> 00:20:22,743
Perfect hold, right
on the thorax.
560
00:20:22,873 --> 00:20:25,702
And boy, you can see
that stinger going.
561
00:20:25,833 --> 00:20:30,229
Definitely not an insect that
you would want to be stung by.
562
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:32,448
Well, let's take a look at
some of the coolest anatomical
563
00:20:32,579 --> 00:20:34,189
features of this hornet.
564
00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:36,409
It has a very robust
body structure,
565
00:20:36,539 --> 00:20:39,238
and its exoskeleton
is incredibly strong.
566
00:20:39,368 --> 00:20:41,675
So I'm not causing
any injury to the bug
567
00:20:41,805 --> 00:20:44,765
as I hold it inside of
these entomology forceps.
568
00:20:44,895 --> 00:20:46,114
Now, the head is massive.
569
00:20:46,245 --> 00:20:47,550
Big eyes.
570
00:20:47,681 --> 00:20:49,335
These creatures
have great eyesight,
571
00:20:49,465 --> 00:20:51,119
especially during the day.
572
00:20:51,250 --> 00:20:54,253
You'll notice those mandibles
up front are very intimidating--
573
00:20:54,383 --> 00:20:57,256
capable of grasping and
holding onto the prey items
574
00:20:57,386 --> 00:21:00,041
that they bring back to
their brood of larva.
575
00:21:00,171 --> 00:21:01,695
As you look at the
legs, they almost
576
00:21:01,825 --> 00:21:04,393
appear as if they have grappling
hooks on the ends of them.
577
00:21:04,524 --> 00:21:06,177
That allows them
to pick up things
578
00:21:06,308 --> 00:21:08,919
like grasshoppers and cicadas to
carry them back to their nests.
579
00:21:09,050 --> 00:21:11,357
Also allows them to easily
grip onto the branches
580
00:21:11,487 --> 00:21:13,054
as they're crawling
around in trees,
581
00:21:13,184 --> 00:21:16,100
eating up sap, and
stripping bark.
582
00:21:16,231 --> 00:21:17,276
And look at that abdomen.
583
00:21:17,406 --> 00:21:18,842
If you look really
closely, you can
584
00:21:18,973 --> 00:21:21,367
see it's covered in a
bunch of fine little hairs.
585
00:21:21,497 --> 00:21:23,412
And look at the
way that it pulses.
586
00:21:23,543 --> 00:21:24,848
And it's pretty intimidating.
587
00:21:24,979 --> 00:21:26,633
That black and yellow
coloration basically is
588
00:21:26,763 --> 00:21:28,330
a warning that I am venomous.
589
00:21:28,461 --> 00:21:31,594
You don't want to
get stung by me.
590
00:21:31,725 --> 00:21:33,509
And this is actually a female.
591
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:36,599
Remember, it's only the
females that have stingers.
592
00:21:36,730 --> 00:21:41,778
That is a modified ova
posture used for laying eggs.
593
00:21:41,909 --> 00:21:45,129
Now, the sting of
a hornet like this
594
00:21:45,260 --> 00:21:46,522
is definitely going
to be painful.
595
00:21:46,653 --> 00:21:50,309
It ranks as a two on the
insect sting pain index.
596
00:21:50,439 --> 00:21:52,093
And it would be a
multitude of stings
597
00:21:52,223 --> 00:21:53,616
that you would really
need to worry about.
598
00:21:53,747 --> 00:21:56,315
A single sting is not likely
to do you much damage.
599
00:21:56,445 --> 00:21:58,186
But this is not
necessarily an insect
600
00:21:58,317 --> 00:21:59,579
you need to be afraid of.
601
00:21:59,709 --> 00:22:01,320
Remember, they are not
going to attack you
602
00:22:01,450 --> 00:22:05,062
and sting unless you
intentionally disturb a nest.
603
00:22:05,193 --> 00:22:06,499
And the nests are very obvious.
604
00:22:06,629 --> 00:22:07,674
They're very big.
605
00:22:07,804 --> 00:22:09,023
Like gray in coloration.
606
00:22:09,153 --> 00:22:12,243
Looks like a big
papier-mache art structure.
607
00:22:12,374 --> 00:22:14,985
So if you leave the
nest be, your chances
608
00:22:15,116 --> 00:22:17,466
of interacting negatively
with one of these hornets
609
00:22:17,597 --> 00:22:20,077
or a bunch of these
hornets is very unlikely.
610
00:22:20,208 --> 00:22:21,688
Admirer from a safe
distance, and it's
611
00:22:21,818 --> 00:22:24,255
actually a pretty cool sight.
612
00:22:24,386 --> 00:22:25,300
All right.
613
00:22:25,431 --> 00:22:26,432
I know you guys are all excited.
614
00:22:26,562 --> 00:22:27,955
And you're thinking, all right.
615
00:22:28,085 --> 00:22:30,131
Coyote's got the insect
in the entomology forceps.
616
00:22:30,261 --> 00:22:32,612
He's going to stretch
his arm out on the table,
617
00:22:32,742 --> 00:22:37,094
place it down on his
forearm, and induce a sting.
618
00:22:37,225 --> 00:22:39,445
I told you guys, after
the cicada killer,
619
00:22:39,575 --> 00:22:40,794
I was done with stings.
620
00:22:40,924 --> 00:22:43,144
I came out of retirement
for one and only.
621
00:22:43,274 --> 00:22:44,754
That was the cicada killer.
622
00:22:44,885 --> 00:22:47,670
The European Hornet, I am
not going to be stung by.
623
00:22:47,801 --> 00:22:49,846
So I'm sorry to
disappoint all of you
624
00:22:49,977 --> 00:22:52,501
that clicked on this video to
see me stung by this hornet.
625
00:22:52,632 --> 00:22:55,417
The purpose in catching it
was to show you just how big
626
00:22:55,548 --> 00:22:58,028
and how cool it was and
to also prove that this is
627
00:22:58,159 --> 00:23:00,030
not an invasive giant hornet.
628
00:23:00,161 --> 00:23:02,163
This is not the murder hornet
that you guys have been
629
00:23:02,293 --> 00:23:03,643
reading about in the media.
630
00:23:03,773 --> 00:23:05,340
You can't believe the hype.
631
00:23:05,471 --> 00:23:08,038
In fact, humans have been living
alongside stinging insects
632
00:23:08,169 --> 00:23:09,562
since the dawn of mankind.
633
00:23:09,692 --> 00:23:11,564
These creatures do
not want to sting
634
00:23:11,694 --> 00:23:13,870
us unless we try to
interact with them
635
00:23:14,001 --> 00:23:15,611
or destroy their homes.
636
00:23:15,742 --> 00:23:17,570
And the last thing I'm going
to do to prove that this insect
637
00:23:17,700 --> 00:23:20,050
does not want to sting me
is to actually place it
638
00:23:20,181 --> 00:23:22,096
into the palm of my
hand and let it fly
639
00:23:22,226 --> 00:23:24,315
off back into the ecosystem.
640
00:23:24,446 --> 00:23:25,708
I'm Coyote Petersen.
641
00:23:25,839 --> 00:23:26,927
Be brave.
642
00:23:27,057 --> 00:23:28,537
Stay wild.
643
00:23:28,668 --> 00:23:29,712
We'll see you on
the next location.
