Being confronted with thousands of aggressive wasps, It's just a typical day at work for the researcher Dr. Bob Brown in New Zealand.

Braun research and excavate nests of wasps to investigate various pests like mites and fungi. In this recent video, Braun captures excavating a nest in Christchurch New Zealand. The video shows the scientist draped with a special protective suit, as he tries to remove the nest. Initially, There are only a few wasps flying around, but within a few seconds you'll see a big angry swarm. Their venom soon covers the camera lens.

Brown said he was surprised by the size of the nest, which estimates that it housed 3.000 up to 4.000 Wasps. After 10 minutes of excavation, he himself walked away with only a bite on his arm – and he was very lucky as he explains.
