Would have been solved much quicker if they where ceo killing hornets

finally some good fucking food...

Anybody know where i can get some murder hornets from? (i jest, ofc)

shitposting aside, how rare is it that invasive species are eradicated before becoming a problem? Can't be that common.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 hour ago

Never. Cause the definition of "Invasive species" includes it being a problem. Otherwise they're called "Introduced species".

(camera focuses on the news playing on a TV in a home in the countryside, slowly pulling back away from the monitor)

"...thanks to their efforts, experts have now stated with certainty that this threat has been eradicated..."

(the camera has pulled back enough that the screen is framed by an outside window with a tree trunk coming into frame from the right)

"...and many communities in the northwest united states can breathe easier knowing that these dreaded hornets are no longer found on our shores. Reporting from Seattle..."

(focus shifts to the tree bark. Buzzing is heard, getting louder and louder until a single murder hornet queen lands on the tree. Cut to black. Roll credits)

Declared extinct in the wild by the WHO in 1980.

RFK will probably support reintroduction, so....

“Somehow, the murder hornets have returned.”

[–] [email protected] 9 points 10 hours ago
