As usual, the Wail has taken something that had circulated through the rest of the Internet several days earlier and published it as if they'd found it.

Those are the queens, which grow quite a bit larger than the ones that you'll meet out and about. But the ones you do meet are big, and can potentially kill a human with their sting.

[bless 'em all]

ALRIGHT!! That's enough thanks.
