Recently it was announced that the Asian giant hornet, otherwise known as the "murder hornet" had been spotted in North America for the first time earlier this month. While many of us have been downright panicking over it, others have been doing their research, like this woman, who decided to draft up a Facebook post of the misconceptions about our new little yellow friend. We hope it puts your mind a little more at ease!

Is anyone even phased by anything anymore? At this point, news could break that an asteroid is barreling toward planet earth and literally no one would bat an eye. It seems that May's little "surprise" for us is the Asian giant hornet, or as it's more commonly being referred to, the "murder hornet" that was spotted in North America for the first time just a few months ago. Luckily these guys typically aren't aggressive toward humans, but they are known to decapitate honey bees with their horrifyingly large claws. On the bright side, perhaps this will encourage people to stay inside so we can tackle the pandemic going on? Thanks 2020!

We feel a little bad laughing at these pics of dogs who are clearly in a fair amount of discomfort, but what can we say? They're still so damn cute. So without further ado, scroll down for a roundup of pics, and click here for even more cute dog content!

A fun fact about bumble bees for you: there are more than 255 species of bee, the largest being the queen of the Bombus dahlbomii species, which can grow up to 1.6 inches! They reside in the forests of southern South America and have even been referred to as "flying mice" for their insane size! We think bumble bees are fricken adorable, but no thanks on that one!

PETA's marketing team had a serious win yesterday after releasing their chart of alternatives to "anti-animal language." If you missed this, check out our post here.
