I see a few on my deck (after my pest control guy came out). They’re kinda pretty.

Be grateful we only have to wear the masks. Next year with the murder hornets we will be forced to wear that suit.

You live in Blaine? Otherwise, let’s hope you didn’t see Vespa mandarinia.

People bitch about wearing masks. Bet they would be GLAD to put on that awful SUIT if a swarm of those hornets were coming!
I’d rather have covid than get stung by a swarm of those!

If you haven’t done so, please report it to the Fish & Game people or the Ag Dept. people. This is a serious pest threat.
They have been limited to Washington State so far. I certainly hope they aren’t that far south already.
