Killer hornets wreak havoc

Red alerts after rapid increase in number of venomous insects poses huge threat to people's safety, He Na reports.

If you ask what are the most-feared venomous animals and insects, most people would say snakes, scorpions and spiders. But if you ask that question in the villages around Ankang in Shaanxi province, the answer is universally, "hornets".

The villagers live in mortal fear of hornet attacks and will happily take a long detour home rather than face the prospect of encountering the insects en route.
