Welcome to the latest installment in The Critter Chronicles. This video features the shockingly aggressive bald faced hornet, scientifically known as Dolichovespula maculata. These hornets terrorize most of North America throughout the springs and summers, and instill fear in the hearts of many.

Whether you're just fascinated by hornets or if you're interested in becoming an expert on these nasty critters, stick around and prepare to have your skin crawl.

And no, similar to bald eagles, bald-faced hornets are not bald. In fact, I wouldn't say they have hair at all!
