A new breed of wasp has been discovered on the Indonesian island of Sulawesi. The Warrior wasp has put the shame of the size of the common British Wasp size. The UC Davis Department of Entomology said they picked the name warrior wasp because of its huge ninja-like mandibles.The male species of the newly found wasp measure two- and-a half inches long and a wasp that supplements a vicious sting with jaws longer than its front legs. The warrior wasp has been named 'Garuda' after the part-human, part-eagle mythical beast.

It sounds like the stuff of nightmares when you saw hundreds of them and even though the species prefers to dine on insects, but it could leave a sizeable mark on human flesh when threatened.
