Hi. Konnichiwa.

As far as I know, most of the Vespa victims were killed because of allergic shock.
Though 3 times I have been stinged by Vespa hornets, I am ok so far.

Yes, it is just like the video in my bee field.
But I keep Japanese bee, instead of European bee.
They developed a strategy to protect themselves.
As they know how to fight against Hornets, the attack of Vespa mandarina is not that serious.

Syrphids, yes. I keep many. Most of the flies are kept first for my Museum.

By the way, what do you have in the bottle of your Malaise traps, or how do you kill insects in your trap, everyone?
As I set them for long period in same place, it is not possible to pick up insects every day.
I put pure Propylene Glycol in the bottle, as coleopterists do.
Tell me please, what you do to collect flies by Malaise trap in good condition.
