'Murder hornets' that chew through human skin and kill with one sting hit British Isles
The terrifying insects were first spotted on Guernsey last month, and now one expert has shed light on how murder hornets can attack humans .
Deadly ‘murder hornets’ that can chew through human skin and kill with a single sting have hit the UK.
The terrifying insects were first spotted on Guernsey last month, and now one expert has shed light on how murder hornets can attack humans.
Speaking to WUSA, entomologist Dr Samuel Ramsey explained: “We've been sounding the alarm about this insect for months.
It is a very large insect. About the size of your thumb. It has these very sharp, large mandibles that are attached to these really big muscles that allow it to chew through a lot of different fabrics.
"They can chew through skin, and they also have a really long stinger."
Dr Ramsey added that the insects’ poisonous venom can destroy human cells and cause excruciating pain.
Worryingly, murder hornets have been known to kill up to 50 people a year in Japan - the insects’ native country.
Dr Ramsey added: “That is a large number because most stinging insects that we deal with on a regular basis inject a much smaller amount of venom.”
With the insects now in the UK, experts are calling on the public to report any sightings.
Nicola Spence, Chief Plant Health Officer, said: “By ensuring we are alerted to possible sightings as early as possible, we can take swift and effective action to stamp out the threat posed by Asian hornets.
“While the Asian hornet poses no greater risk to human health than a bee, we recognise the damage they can cause to honey bee colonies and other beneficial insects.
"Please continue to look out for any Asian hornets and if you think you’ve spotted one, report your sighting through the Asian hornet app or online.
How to spot an Asian Hornet
According to the UK government, Asian hornets:
have a dark brown or black velvety body
have a yellow or orange band on fourth segment of abdomen
have yellow tipped legs
are smaller than the native European hornet
are not active at night
