The video of a ” assassin wasp“-also known as” giant wasp “or” Asian wasp “- which immobilizes a mouse until, apparently, killing it, is going viral on the internet.

The invasive species Vespa mandarinia, from Asia , It has been sighted for the first time in the United States just six months ago and according to experts, it is only a matter of time before the deadly insects arrive in the New York City area.

Indeed, despite the fact that the mouse in the video is about three times bigger than the wasp, a few bites made it lose the battle. Although he tried to wriggle out of the insect’s “claws” countless times, the wasp did not leave until he “finished his job.”

The recording shows how the mouse suffers as a result of the bites.

The killer wasps were specifically sighted in Washington state, scientists said. Since last November, beekeepers reported that these hornets have killed hundreds of bees, a species vital to the country’s economy.

According to the testimony of a former NYPD ex-beekeeper, Anthony “Tony Bees” Planakis, he warned the Department of the threat in 2012. “I showed them a photo and they said, ‘What the hell is that?’ “Planakis said. “I say, ‘That’s an Asian hornet. My suit is useless against that thing.’

According to Planakis, the hornets are likely to reach our coast within the next two to three years. They are likely located in green spaces on the outskirts of the city, such as the Bronx Botanical Gardens and other similar open spaces. He added that they are unlikely to be seen in highly congested areas of the city, such as Manhattan, as they tend to nest in the ground or dig in rotting wood, he said.

“It only takes a few hornets and you already have a colony,” Planakis said, adding that the killer bug “is here to stay” in the country.
