> Wonder if those Murder Hornets will make next year's list?

I was curious, so:

> Since 2001, the yearly human death toll caused by stings of bees, wasps and hornets in Japan has been ranging between 12 and 26.[26] Since this number also includes deaths caused by wasps, bees, and other hornet species, the number of deaths caused by Asian giant hornets is likely to be significantly lower.[citation needed]

from:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asian_giant_hornet

[26] is a Japanese source that I cannot read.

Seems like they're not a huge threat?
