Photo from NYT; I think the article says this is a dead hornet that was placed on the guy's jacket to show how large they are. I sure wouldn't be smiling if that thing were alive.... ![]() https://www.bellinghamherald.c...rticle242404026.html

We have a short window to find and exterminate. I wonder how they got here. Hard to imagine a big Divine Wind from Japan blew them here. | |||

I can't remember if it was linked in that article or I read it somewhere else, but an article on them linked to a YouTube video of some (incredibly crazy) guy receiving a sting from one. He held it with tweezers and pushed it into his arm to get it to sting him. First of all, the thing is just huge, and second of all it swelled up the size of Texas in a horrifyingly short time. ![]()

Perhaps, but they do the jobs that American hornets won’t do.

Sounds like we need a Dalek. I am pretty sure Bellingham isn't a commercial shipping port anymore, but Vancouver BC (Tsawwassen) is. Insects like to hitchhike in produce and other goods that come by ship. But, I think you need a queen to establish a bee/wasp/hornet colony. Murder hornets have been previously found around Nanaimo on Vancouver Island about 15 miles from the city of Vancouver (which is *not* on Vancouver Island). The problem is that insects and most other animals don't respect international borders. Build a wall! And a net!

Emerald ash borers arrived from Asia in solid (untreated) wood packing crates in the Ontario and Michigan areas about 20 years ago. They have destroyed entire forests. But remember, government isn't the solution to your problems, government *is* the problem.
