An Asian giant hornet that is known to be a threat to honeybees was found in Washington. The specimen, which had died, is unusual. This hornet has never been seen in the state before — it’s native to east Asia. And it’s typically dormant during the winter.
There's at least one Asian giant hornet, the largest pest of its kind, buzzing around Washington state, and it's scaring locals silly.
But it's not here to prick people -- it's much hungrier for honeybees.A resident found the nearly 2-inch hornet in Blaine, a city that sits on the US-Canada border, the Washington State Department of Agriculture reported. The department took that specimen, which had died, though the resident reported seeing a live hornet buzzing near a bird feeder before escaping into a nearby forest.
