The term 'murder hornet” began to trend online, with the internet latching onto the species' invasion as yet another strange development of 2020.

Washington State Department of Agriculture

Although the species was first spotted months ago, the term “murder hornet” circulated on Twitter over the weekendAs the globe reels with the upheaval of normal life during the coronavirus pandemic, the internet latched onto “murder hornets” as yet another strange development of 2020. “Murder hornets. Sure thing, 2020,” actor and comedian Patton Oswalt tweeted Saturday. “Give us everything. Hypno-frogs. Fecal blizzards. Toilet tsunamis. A CATS sequel. We can take it.”

Hey 2020, bruh, can you chill for like 5 minutes

Seriously people... I have fire ants from South America, and Africanized Bees from, well, Africa right here on my property. Things have been hitching rides on boats here since Columbus. This crap ain't new.

“Killer Monkeys” was a thing in the early ‘80s

so it’s that magic school bus episode come to life but instead of a spider it’s a hornet

NNapoline remember when i said i didnt like how uneventful may has been? HAHAHA REMEMBER!?!?!?

Asian hornets? You racists!

2020 is a 5150 that needs to go home or get thrown in jail. And it’s only the beginning of May.

Isn’t that racist to call it an “Asian Hornet”?

Followed by this even stranger AsianPacificAmericanHeritageMonth tribute to these massive fiends of the insect world:

Even it’s eyes tells you it can’t be good. The creep factor is pretty high 🤫

How did China brought it there? LoL

It actually was found to have hopped off the asteroid that came near the Earth last week. True story...real pic too! ;-)

I did not know hornets had eyebrows with aggressive expressions?

Holy crap

Are you frikin serious 2020? Like bro come on, chilllll

Son, if any of them sting me it's a murder hornet.

Should we stock swatter then?!

Oy oy oy and oy. Scary.

My response upon discovering an Asian Giant Hornet nest:

You know, you’re really not supposed to point out when bad stuff comes from Asia.......

Well the homicidal expression on its face doesn't exactly make folks feel warm & fuzzy either.

We need to stay inside because murder hornets are here. I mean socialism doesn't sound so bad now.

Yikes

This is old news. Google Asian Giant Hornets in America 2017. 🙄

Isn't using Asian a racist thing? I'm pretty sure hornets don't adhere to human races.

What’s next

Asian call the man police

Nothing as mundane as frogs, boils, or locusts ... Nah ... Now it's giant hornets ... Giant murder hornets ... Even during my wildest acid trip way back when I don't think I could have envisioned 2020 ...

More anti Asian crap circulating, it’s what happens when ppl start floating unsubstantiated conspiracy theories about covid

Another weapon China has on us.

I will just keep my can of hornet killer with me!

Do we call Coyote Peterson or Sam and Dean Winchester?

AprendizDelBabo 'Asian'

NBC can say Murder Hornet, but no one is allowed to say Chinese Virus! Hypocrites!

That hornet aint shit compared to the bills we're paying despite not being able to work. Fuck a big ass hornet, gimmie some disinfectants & a spray bottle. 'King Kong Aint Got Shit On Me.'

We knew it was coming

Uhhhh ohhh, bow down in fear and close down more of the country!

So, what you’re trying to say is: The Myans were right, just off by a few years. Lovely.

I saw those a few years ago in NE Ohio. Apparently they go after other insects. But still, no thank you.

Only in Trumps America.

Damn, Asia is giving the world everything this year, huh?💀

Omg

What the hell is a murder hornet?

Sign of the Apocalypse...
