[15] The hornet has a body length of 45 mm ( 1 + 3 ⁄ 4 in), a wingspan around 75 mm (3 in), and a stinger 6 mm ( 1 ⁄ 4 in) long, which injects a large amount of potent venom.
Eusocial insects like ants and honey bees are multicellular animals that live in colonies with a highly organized social structure. Colonies of some social insects may be deemed superorganisms. [6] Animals, such as humans and rodents, form breeding or nesting colonies, potentially for more successful mating and to better protect offspring.
The picture for domesticated pollinator species is less clear. Although the number of managed honey bee colonies in Europe and North America declined by 25% and 59% between 1985-2005 and 1947-2005 respectively, overall global stocks increased due to major hive number increases in countries such as China and Argentina.
Human insect-eating is common to cultures in most parts of the world, including Central and South America, Africa, Asia, Australia, and New Zealand. Eighty percent of the world's nations eat insects of 1,000 to 2,000 species.
