Some cane toads will eat them all, and every other thing they can get.
You have the Chinese muscles that can mess things up, they already are in the great lakes. Beetles also.
Also some kinds of evasive plants

I saw those on a nature shoe killing off bee hives until they got into an Asian bee colony.
The Asian bees would smoother them, and heat up so much they baked to death.

Those are scary looking, more so than our black, and brown ones.

There is something very odd about these giant hornets. I lived in Hong Kong for seven years and read the newspaper every single morning and never ever did I ever hear about these giant hornets. I knew about the giant carpenter bees and the giant Japanese hornets but never in China. Surely I would have read about at least some people getting killed by these monsterous wasps. Could it be that they are GMO hornets ? It's just an idea but you don't get to the best ideas without looking at all the ideas

Those things are scary, you would need armor plate to protect yourself from those with no way for them to get in.

Grubs, and mill worms will be next :) I here stir fried silk worms is tasty :teehe:
It's all about the mind, most people have a stigma about that stuff, but there is nothing wrong with eating it.
Look at chickens, about everyone loves them, but look at what they eat, and stand in all the time.
