This Could Almost Be A Halloween Story,

just a few days ago,

a colony of murder hornets, (Vespa mandarinia), was found and destroyed, in a statement on Friday, the Washington State Department of Agriculture said entomologists discovered the nest inside the cavity of a tree on a property in Blaine, a small town on the state’s northern border with Canada, for a more in depth look at the threat that these super wasps pose have a look here, and big threat they are too, but some people just loved to collect insects like these so here is your very own chance to own a murder hornet, 

sold by BicBugs they are an impressive size,

you can buy them in a framed for $61.00, or pinned for $51.00,

or you can buy them 'wet', the specimen is preserved in 70% isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol), the vial is approximately 2.5 inches tall, for $46.00, hopefully the authorities will have any new outbreaks in hand, after reading that 50 people a year are killed by these insects in Japan, the last thing anyone wants is a nest of these in the neighbourhood!
