The world's largest hornet is the Asian Giant Hornet (or Japanese Giant Hornet) and it is as dangerous as its reputation says. They are nicknamed "Yak killers" precisely because they're capable of doing it. The

Japanese Asian Hornet is the ultimate killer insect of Japan, responsible for 20 to 40 human deaths each year.

This giant killer insect is 2 inches long and has a wingspan of 3 inches. If you were to put one of these insects on your palm, it would occupy a good portion. Its wingspan is larger than some hummingbirds in Japan. Even more frightening is that the queen Asian giant hornets can grow up to 2.2 inches long - that's longer than your thumb.
