Same thing? The one in Seattle was dead when they found it, this was alive until it met me.

Scientists have found a dead Asian giant hornet north of Seattle, the first so-called murder hornet discovered in the country this year, federal and state investigators said Wednesday.
Entomologists from the state and U.S. Agriculture departments said it’s the first confirmed report from Snohomish County, north of Seattle, and appears to be unrelated to the 2019 and 2020 findings of the hornets in Canada and Whatcom County, along the Canadian border, that gained widespread attention.
The 2-inch-long (5-centimeter-long) invasive insects, first found near the U.S.-Canadian border in December 2019, are native to Asia and pose a threat to honeybees and native hornet species. While not particularly aggressive toward humans, their sting is extremely painful and repeated stings, though rare, can kill.
Biological warfare waged upon us by communist chinese. The SAME as the the whole covid thing, except with covid, the communists in this country are working right along with them. biden, newsome, the democrat party, grethen whitmer, deblasio...they are all just a bunch of communists! And they are working with the communist chinese against us!
So who murdered the murder hornet? THE FBI will assign 200 agents to this.
Around here (GA/NC border) the bastid yellow jackets kill off the regular hornets about the time the hornet nests get about the size of a baseball. Yellow jacket wasps are half the size of hornets.
Weirdest thing I ever saw...
Nuke the Murder Hornets!
It is said that these murder hornets originate from Japan and China. I wonder if these hornets are not a bio weapon created by China?
No joke, I found one of these sitting on the floor in my living room a month ago (south jersey). It was night, it was just sitting there. I have one of those tennis racket style bug zappers so I fried it and tossed it outside. But I took pictures of the carcass. Same exact thing as in this article. I had no idea it could be a “murder hornet”. I never heard of them on the east coast. Yikes.
Hornets, and murder.
Sightings on both coasts means they are everywhere. Doom!
I suppose I ought to figure out who to report this to. The hornet is gone but I still have the pics. I put it next to a quarter for size reference. Big.
usually they are found in areas around international airports. they hitch a ride on international flights in the holds and vents open on the ground, found many strange bugs at KCI that are not supposed to be in Missouri
Fear not Biden will give the Department of Agriculture 5 trillion dollars to handle the issue.
