In last night’s NBA Final Game 5 loss to the Golden State Warriors, mega-superstar and mega-flopper<\/a> LeBron James was\u00a0directly involved with\u00a070 of the Cavaliers 90 points (scored 40, assisted on 30 others). \u00a0To opposing teams, LeBrron is the human equivalent of Vespa mandarinia, the Asian giant hornet, a.k.a. the “Hornet from Hell”:<\/p>\n

This beast is\u00a01.4 to 1.5 inches long with a 1\/4″ stinger which it can use repeatedly. It kills 40 people a year in Japan. \u00a0One of it’s favorite snacks is honeybee larvae. \u00a0A single Giant Asian hornet can kill 40 honeybees per minute, and a few of them can wipe out an entire honeybee nest.<\/p>\n

While European honeybees are at the mercy of the Asian Giant hornet, Japanese honeybees have evolved an ingenious defense mechanism: \u00a0they swarm an invading hornet and begin vibrating their bodies in order to generate heat (their stingers can’t penetrate the hornet’s tough body).<\/p>\n

Japanese honeybees can survive a top temperatture of 119 degrees Farenheit. \u00a0Giant hornets die at 115 degrees. \u00a0 You can see it all here:<\/p>\n
