I Watched A Video Of Someone Who Rescued a Hornet In Japan, The Hornet Had Parasites…

Two large grub like parasites. Saw the flat brown head sticking out a bit between the scale on the hornet and worked pulling it out slowly. Then found another one and did the same. Was holding the hornet between two fingers while doing it and the released it so it could live. I’m thinking this rescue stuff is getting weird. I thought it was bad enough someone caught a rattlesnake and pulled the ticks off of it, very many of them between the scales.

It takes a world of crazy for some. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I've have caught rattlesnakes in numbers, released them in appropriate areas in fact. Yet never would consider delousing them.

I saw that part of the program you're referring to, about pulling the parasites out of the hornet. I was flipping through the channels just as they started pulling the first one out. Kind of gross, actually! The hornet probably flew off and stung somebody! Haha!

I'm thinking it would be quicker to rid the hornet of parasites is to throw it inside a microwave oven.

@Atlotto a little spritz of Raid would have taken care of the parasites.
