Best Answer

The giant Asian hornet has very few natural predators. The Honey Buzzard (蜂鷹) is known to attack hornet nests in groups. No insect in the hornet's area has the capacity to be a threat to the hornet.

Parasites[edit]

Xenos moutoni is a common parasite among Vespa species. In a study of parasites among species of Vespa, 4.3% of V. mandarinia females were parasitized. Males were not stylopized (parasitized by Stylopidae, such as Xenos moutoni) at all. The width of the stylopid's head and the host's head are positively correlated. The major consequence of being parasitized is the inability to reproduce for the following year. Stylopized queens follow the same fate as uninseminated queens. They do not search for an area to create a new colony and feed on sap until early July, when they disappear. In other species of Vespa, males also have a chance of being stylopized. The consequences between the two sexes are similar, as neither sex is able to reproduce.[20]
