That black carpenter ant was way to confident!

Hornets kills 30000 bees what an ant and some friends can do?

@@sachinfulsunge9977 *also 30 ants killing an entire bee colony* Ant: Oops your in danger

@@Kaazmaz3447 1 hornet destroy 5 bee hives: UH OH YOUR IN DANGER Ants: lol no we have more soldiers

@@Chicory-Cat69while you guys may be focusing oh how many bees each can kill. The fact of the matter is, hornets and wasps usually turn tail and run at the wiff of an ant colony. Even if it means that they have to abandon their own.

The ant could clamp its jaws on one of the hornet's appendages and not let go! I wasn't sure if this video was made in the US or in Europe until I heard the cicada Neotibicen lyricen (a Nearctic species) calling in the background.

Looks like the hornet just threw the ant

@odd maner Yes... If we had absolutely no fear, we'd be dead the first time we went to cross the street. Fear has stuck with our species for a good reason. That doesn't mean we should all be puss-cakes; sometimes it's good to overcome a fear, especially an irrational one (i.e., fear of exploding if you touch a doorknob with both hands - DON'T DO IT!!!), but otherwise, fear has been part of what's enabled our species to (arguably) become the dominant one on the planet.

Thats life in the hood everyday as natural as these insects. Seen my first dead body when I was about 6. We not talking about uncle Billy in a casket who passed from liver failure from over drinking. Several bodies dropping in a instant. Like the war. But I agree im no poosie but im constantly watching my own back. Even in uptown.

@@gamefein885 dam man stay safe

Ty bro im older now and have earned my stripes. So I got my pass but that doesn't mean I'm safe.

@@gamefein885 Same in eastern Europe. Seen first dead body with 10. It was some Mafia shootings assasinations. Doesnt happen that often but when mafia decides that someone should die then you best believe there will be dead.

She lopped her ant head off

I'm pretty sure the ant's actually a "her"!

Worker ants are all female. Same as bees.

@@73_de_CJHall some of em are male they only go outside to mate

Lol yeah

You will...

Hornets will also defend and attack together if in close vicinity to the nest. The hornets won't still have any chance to win, though.

Was it that why the Hornet just "Threw" the ant away? avoiding Fights? Seems legit.

But this is *one* ant

@@mercenary96 Camel Spiders hunt young colonies of harvester ants... Swarms of ants from the genus of Lasius and Solenopsis would easily swarm a Camel Spider.

@@mercenary96 Ants can beat everyone of those you've mentioned and have.

@@mercenary96 its becaus ethe colony of it was young and weak,making them win,ants with enermous colony can beat all of thos things younsaid there

@@mercenary96 that is not a good example. If you have a propper ant colonie like fire ants tha camel spider would have no chance other then retreat.

Except Carpenter ants.

@@dodoboodrough6044 i no longer like ants that much

@@CultReport what changed? Lmao

@@rdr9519 i learned that they steal food (my grandma is the one who makes all of the orders in the community schools), they’e dirty, and i grew (or shrunk?) afraid of them

How do the hornets use a flame thrower I say they call back up to there Asian giant hornet cousins that will be even more of a fight

Then a driver ant colony invades and destroy everything.

Thanks for your comment and info!

@@MarSHornetsandWasps-v26 I don't know. That hornet has other killing plans than just killing an ant by himself. And by the way not all wasps are afraid of ants. Don't believe me look at "Monster Bug Wars." aka "Green ants vs Paper Wasps." you can't miss it its not going anywhere.

Certainly a very aggressive wasp type will be less hesitant about attacking an ant, but it's also evolution. Many wasps aren't used to ants so they'll treat it as a competitor, avoid conflict as much as possible.

The ant wasn't killed- read the description properly!

@@samueloconnor8546 Those wasps defend their nest, but this hornet was outside the nest area. Actually, some wasps are kinda afraid of ants even close to the nest. Some aren't, but I think that really NO WASP would pick a serious fight with an ant if it's not forced to do so (eg. when the ant catches and stings the wasp). You don't get the point. I say that a wasp is not gonna attack an ant when not necessary. It's likely to try to throw the ant away or escape.

That's a good question that I don't know the answer to. Seems to me like the wasp could have just bitten the ants head off and that would have been the end of it.

yes as just like a wasp the ant will have the whol hive come and attack if it was dead or hurt

@@waterfallrich are you online i got the answer (i am kind of a wasp expert)

It depends on the ants. Fire ants, aggressive species of pheidoles and carebara or army ants will also raid the bee hive. You can keep some carpenter ants or polyrachis ants if you want.

Actually, all worker ants are female, & this particular ant's name is Cheryl. She enjoys pina coladas & taking walks in the rain.

Oliver queen to the rescue.

thank you!

A single carpenter ant isn't even strong enough to kill a Median wasp which is way smaller. The power of ants is in quantity, a single ant can do nothing.

Dont worry.. @@MarSHornetsandWasps-v26

@@MarSHornetsandWasps-v26 dinopenera, myrmica, bullet ants :

Do you really miss have the video?

Not sap, but a white frothy liquid - "White Flux or Alcoholic flux, is a stress-related disease that affects sweet gum, oak, elm and willow trees. The disease is caused by a microorganism that ferments the sap that seeps or bleeds from cracks and wounds in the bark. The result is a white, frothy ooze that has a fermenting odor similar to beer. Alcoholic flux is some- times called frothy flux or foamy canker because of the white ooze that looks and feels like melted marshmal- lows. Fortunately, this ooze only lasts for a short time in summer"

I think it is. We have carpenter ants in this area.

Probably Pennsylvanicus, because it shares more territory with European Hornets

Ants especially

Alot of peaple are uneducated about hornets note has a hornet ever attacked a picnic has a wasp attacked your beer by swimming in it likely yes wasps are annoying and dangerous hornets are pretty shy or be like wtf you staring they likely scare you away by there presence wasps are like yea let's ruin this dudes life if he has a allergy even better wasps in general are like flys landing on shit hornets are awesome to look at tho sort of a gangsta wasp that of threatened or nest is threatened will likely sting but hornets take alot of abuse before they start to sting because they don't wanna sting itslike the insect knows its power you mess with me too much and your gonna feel a sting that is more painful than a wasp sting so yea

No it’s NOT GOD ARE YOU BLIND

How about both.

MAMA MIA! SIGNORE

Hornets do belong to the Vespa family, yes.

Stupid it’s European hornet

Hornets are wasps, so yes. Also, this was a European Hornet, google it.
