Asian hornet Queen builds terrifying ‘mother nest’ in UK town

A MENACING queen Asian hornet nest has been spotted in Kent amid record sightings of the invasive species.A Krusties cafe post to Facebook said: "Over the last 10 days we've had the opportunity of housing a 'nest' ... so today I took the right decision and reported it to the agency.

“People shouldn’t be frightened of them ... they just get very defensive of their nests, which is when they become a problem.“They’re very mild mannered when they’re out and about, so if you see one foraging, they’re not aggressive at all.Ms Turner said the hornets were best identified by their "fabulous yellow socks" which brighten up their legs.

“They make a little tiny one early on. When they get bigger, when there’s more of them, they start to make a secondary nest, which tends to be higher up.If anything is left on, or in your skin, the first thing you need to do is remove it carefully, according to theDo not use tweezers to pull out a stinger as you could squeeze poison out of it.If there's nothing in your skin, or you've removed it, wash your skin with soap and water to help lower the chance of infection.
