Philippine hornet
The Philippine hornet is a species of hornet found only in the Philippines. It is known for its potent venom, which is the most toxic of any wasp species tested. Its sting can cause severe symptoms, so it is important to know it when you see one.1

The venom is the most toxic of any wasp species tested, measured by its effect on mice. Its LD50 (the dose that kills half of the mice tested) is 1.6 mg/kg, which is lower than the 4.0 mg/kg of the Asian giant hornet, so it is more toxic per unit of weight. Severe envenomation can cause pain at the sting site, convulsions (fits), cyanosis (bluish skin from low oxygen) and hematuria (blood in the urine).1

Nsɛm
The Philippine hornet is the most venomous known wasp, based on tests on mice.1
Its venom is among the most toxic of any known insect venom. Only the venom of some harvester ants is known to be more toxic.1
Per unit of body weight, its venom is more toxic than that of the much larger Asian giant hornet.1
Its nests are round when first built, then become longer and hang vertically as they grow.1
It only rarely nests in human buildings, preferring trees and bushes.1
