Surely we can just market some delicious appetizer based on them and hunt them all out of existence. What if we make up a rumor that they're an aphrodisiac?
In my world, these hornets can be wiped out right along those Asian carp, the common house cat (in all its Himalayan, Siamese, Burmese, dirty knees, look at these varieties) from North America along with kudzu, wisteria, privet hedge, and other non-native, invasive species.
Because we share the same Koppen climate classification and have organisms that have some genetic relationship, but not too close: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/can-we-identify-invasive-species-before-they-invade/ Likewise, many native organisms here are destructively invasive over there. Our wildflowers are their weeds.
Insects are scary as [uck fay]. Why I don't want to actually come in contact with non-terrestrial aliens. If we have something this alien on Earth, what are the odds what we find out in space is going to not be some Murder Hornet with Lasers?
Idk. Civilization was supposed to already be wiped out by the bees. It’ll be interesting to see how this develops though. I’d imagine it’s hard as hell to combat an invasive insect once it’s here
My grandpa and I got into a bumblebee nest once. That [uck fay]ing sucked. Unlike honeybees, they can sting more than once
