Take a look at the world's largest bee

[kurahador]

Motherfucker....that's a beetle.

 

[Sephzilla]

But is Coyote Peterson going to let it sting him?

 

[The Silver]

Gonna need Coyote Peterson to enter the Bee Zone

Edit: hey dude above me........go to heck

 

[HardRojo]

Then they proceeded to kill it. And don't act so scared peeps...99.95% of ya'll will never end up in the jungles of Indonesia. You know it.

That's like two thousand Era members that will!

 

[Astandahl]

What a terrible monster. Stay fucking away.

 

[Deleted member 2669]

I'm in love with those eyes and stag-like mandibles. ♥

 

[sgtnosboss]

if they are as friendly as a normal bee, lets find a way to make more and have the pollinate the FUCK out shit. lol

Bees are fine. Now wasps on the other hand...

Wallace warned ya'll, but you still had to go fucking with his giant bees...

 

[rashbeep]

that looks pretty awesome

 

[hydro94530]

They're on me. They're crawling all over me now!!

 

[VinylCassette64]

Congratulations. You've found The Lost World.

As Pooh would say, "Oh bother."

 

[Lord Azrael]

Looks badass

 

[tommyv2]

Need a Coke can beside it for comparison. It's the gold standard of visual measurement.

 

[AnansiThePersona]

I think I fought those in Final Fantasy VIII

 

[MCN]

I mean, bees are awesome and important and all that, but that thing is fucking terrifying.

 

[neatsaux]

Nah dog

 

[HStallion]

You need to be cute to survive in the world now.

Awww. Don't worry cute little fur babies, humanity will never let you go extinct.

There are actually scifi stories that deal with humanity going out of its way to save alien species that we think are cute while letting the more "monstrous" looking ones die or even going to war with them.

 

[MetalMagus]

Imagine hearing one these things fly right by your ear? It'd be like a lawnmower with wings.

 

[Deleted member 40102]

They say the spotted it since 38 years ? Why can't they catch it and breed it then release them?

Coming to Netflix:

My Flower's Stamen Won't Fit

 

[Stinkles]

The fisheye lens for scale is really unhelpful. And relative to his fingers it looks smaller than the true KING OF BEASTS the Japanese hornet.

And yes, they sting and apparently it really hurts.

BUT if you're gonna do a "for scale" amplification, real or deceptive, the all time GOAT is the Coconut Crab trash can.

The famous Camel Spider "distant legs" bigness exaggerator doesn't work for me. Probably a "blue dress" person. I see the heel of his hand and while it's stil YOOOGE it's not thigh sized. Don't get me wrong, I would scream to death if one of those was on me. I have wondered if coconut crabs are as delicious as that sounds.

Because bees and wasps have a very specific way of breeding that's probably hard to replicate with one non-queen female

"OHHHH FUUUUUCCK!"

 

[Squarehard]

Did they at some point cross breed with a beetle to stave off extinction?

Is that Master of None jumping at the end??

Now imagine if huge prehistoric bugs were around today, then that bee doesn't seem so scary by comparison. Nature is intense.

[Hey Please]

Makes me wonder where it fits in native habitat's food chain.

That does look like a bee and a beetle had a baby.

If they found one, then there should be a hive somewhere.

 

[Mórríoghain]

Delete this world.

 

[Hollywood Duo]

Could have done without the misleading perspective in that shot. Still seems pretty big.

 

[I am a Bird]

That is a very big bee. What does the hive look like?

 

[uncelestial]

The hell is that thing pollinating? The monsters from Little Shop of Horrors? Pirhana Plants?

 

[Hey Please]

According to the article:

The big pollinators aren't easy to find. The bees burrow into mounds of soil built by termites, which hang on trees some eight feet off the ground or higher.

Pretty cool, but way less cuddly than honey bees...

 

[Deimos]

It wasn't. They found a female.

Time to fix that.

I just read about that. I would love to see a fully active hive one day, Kind of like how they have the bee exhibits at the zoo.
