At nearly two inches long, they should make a very satisfying crunch under ones' shoe.

Or maybe a tasty canapé.

Invasive species have caused damage all over this nation. Pythons... Everglades. Snakeheads... rivers and lakes. Lionfish... coral reefs. Just off the top of my head.

This "bigger fly swatter" talk is a dog whistle that signals communion with those among us who do not like to be made aware.

Whose ends are being served?

Democrats... Washington D.C.

They come when you blow a dog whistle?

At nearly 2 inches long, they'll be playing second fiddle to many other insects down here.

OK, here is why this is not a big deal. We have always had "giant murderous wasps" here. And they don't just murder poor little honey bees. No, they kill giant spiders! At least there is a little sport in that.

The hysteria is just so much racism, because the new interlopers are Asians.

These native American giant killer wasps live right here in my back yard.
