Had one of those land on my leg in Japan. Seemed chill. Guess I was lucky it didn’t sting.

Indeed

The stinger of the Asian giant hornet is about 6 mm (1⁄4 in) long.

Described the sensation of being stung as feeling “like a hot nail being driven into my leg”.

The potency of the V. mandarinia sting is due, rather, to the relatively large amount of venom injected.
