One day the #Hornets will be a must watch on Christmas

🐸🐝 Japanese researchers discovered that black-spotted pond #frogs can successfully hunt and eat Asian giant #hornets (aka "murder hornets") despite their massive stingers and venom. The study found frogs ate the hornets 79% of the time even when repeatedly stung in the mouth or eyes.

Pond frogs chow down on 'murder hornets' like it ain't no thing

In the world of flying, stinging insects, Asian giant hornets reign supreme, reaching impressive sizes and wielding mighty venom-filled lances. Now, researchers have found an unlikely hero that can vanquish these buzzing badasses: the humble frog.

Fearless frogs feast on deadly hornets

A remarkable resistance to venom has been discovered in a frog that feasts on hornets despite their deadly stingers. This frog could potentially serve as a model organism for studies on mechanisms underlying venom tolerance.

"In parts of Europe where the species has established itself, they have wiped out 30 percent to 80 percent of #hives.

People are at risk, too. Those who approach nests too closely risk severe stings known to cause intense pain, rapid swelling and, in some cases, life-threatening allergic reactions. People have died after being stung by these #hornets."

NZ now has a narrow window to stop the Asian yellow-legged hornet – here’s how everyone can help

Unless New Zealand rapidly scales up its search effort, we could soon be confronting an incursion far tougher and costlier to stamp out.

For the wild card, it all depends on what happens. But the #Magic have a 15-point lead on the #Heat and a 28-point lead on the #Cavs.

The #Cavs play the #Hawks on Friday.

The #Knicks have a -2 differential but play the #Hornets tomorrow and #Bucks on Friday. Can still advance.

Just want to say as the rumors take off that I was on the "trade Lamelo to Dallas for Davis" train like three weeks ago. #Hornets
