I'm more concerned about them than the wasps. Those hornets raid and devastate bee colonies. I'd hate to see those buggers get loose here.
Something that's odd about the hornets is that their existence is contrary evidence to the theory that smaller environments (like islands) result in species miniaturization, like those midget mammoths that lived on that Aleutian island.
Damnit, bitch. You freaking out now will lead them to us! I want to fuck more! HUSH!

I bet it's God, and he's just messing with scientist.

It isn't the first time very large species have appeared on tiny islands. Galapagos turtles are humongous.

Both island gigantism and insular dwarfism can result from the same processes.

Both island gigantism and insular dwarfism can result from the same processes.So you can have giant dwarfs?
If I had a nest that large. I would do this:
