    Im at school right now and can't look at the video because these computers are so lame! But after reading about how the bug looks like I don't even want to see the video if it's compared to something! O_O

    Oh good god.
    I hate wasps. Bees are adorable,but wasps...blargh. And I think I would have a heart attack if I saw one of these.
    Was there anything about how big its stinger thingy is? Just to add to the nightmares I shall now have.
    Ughh. Wasps ;;

    And then I realize I don't live in Indonesia. And all is well.

    Didn't find any info on the stinger. Apparently only females have it? I don't know anything about wasps, except that they're the assholes of the animal kingdom and don't really serve a purpose.

    I don't think not being allergic is going to help me with that thing. Jeez, I can't believe there's a wasp that big. If that thing ever becomes native to North America, book me a flight to the north pole, because that's the safest place to be from those things.

    On another note, watching the footage of that lady walking into the wall is hurting my sides my laughter. Seriously, that's nothing to sue about, except maybe your eyes for not seeing in front of you. That lady either has terrible eyesight and needs some of the strongest glasses possible, or she needs to learn to walk with her eyes open. But seriously, that's just rolling on the floor funny

    Putting Indonesia on the list of places I won't visit due to killer wildlife. ._.

    Normal wasps are evil, at least bees help flowers and such, but this wasp...it looks like a gargantuan flying ant.

    There will always be an idioit who will bring it here. If not taken with care and set free... that thing will scare me to death. We are just lucky that thing dosen't have razor sharp jaws! ....I hope it doesn't or it will cut through my window shades keeping the bugs out of the house >_<

    It does and those things are bad enough. I sincerely hope they don't try to take it aboard. They're better off staying up in those mountains.

    Oh, what a great idea for a horror movie. A giant Komodo dragon wasp.....yeah, maybe not so much. But I'm sure someone could make a movie about this. There's already a movie about wasps going crazy and attacking people

    Oh dear. I'm not entirely fond of bees or wasps or any insects for that matter. If this somehow manages to find its way over to the UK then I'd be very worried. I don't think I'd leave my house. At all. :|

    I would like to find the UK climate would be too much for it and it'd die, but these things can be resilient. There would be a huge panic if it ever reached the UK. We're not used to any insect bigger than a bee or butterfly.
