Photo of giant mutant hornet goes viral terrifying the Internet

A GIANT hoet has sent the inteet into overdrive as the monstrous beasts come out of hibeation.

This enormous insect was captured crawling on a jumper – showing just how massive these monsters can be.

They can grow over two inches long while their terrifying stingers are over a quarter of an inch.

WTF: The hoet is absolutely massive  It"s actually a giant Asian hoet native to Japan (emphasis on the word giant). They venom is powerful enough to dissolve human tissue but to be fair, a sting won't kill you unless you happen to be allergic. 

The eye-opening image was uploaded to picture sharing website imgur by user NissanGTR.
