These invasive pests are actually Asian Giant Hornets and they are the largest hornet species in the world, and they’re easy to recognize not only by their size that can be up to 4.5 cm., but by their bright orange/yellowheads. Like all hornets, Asian giant hornets are predators that kill insects. However, they tend to target bees as they can wipe out a bee colony very quickly, hence their “murderous” nickname. On the good side, the public shouldn’t be fearful about an invasion of Asian giant hornets as many entomologists are more worried about certain types of mites, which are a serious threat to honeybees.
