Scientists have found a dead Asian giant hornet north of Seattle, the first so-called murder hornet discovered in the country this year.

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.

“Hitchhikers are a side effect of all the commerce we do globally,” said Sven Spichiger, an entomologist with the state Agriculture Department who is leading the fight to eradicate the hornets. El-Lissy said the federal agency would work with state officials “to survey the area to verify whether a population exists in Snohomish County.”

Spichiger said the newly found hornet lacked orange bands on its abdomen and likely came from a country in southern Asia.

我刚刚从窗子玻璃上赶走一直这样的😂

plutotides nah dw bro its dead

I blame the liberal left-wing Hollywood media. Sorry, I thought I was on Fox News for a moment.

Asian giant hornets and Africanized killer bees. Wu-Tang is at it again! 🤣

Initiate LOCKDOWNS!!!!

Yes that comes near me I'ma hit it with a fucking bat. That thing is huge

I can’t remember the last time breaking news was good. It’s a huge bee we get it, kill it.

More concerning is there's something that murders murder hornets out there!

I completely forgot “murder hornets” were a thing...2020 felt like such a strange fever dream

😂😂😂😂😂👉🇺🇸🇮🇳💩 One leak spread covid Another loosen killer insect to harm the whole world again😱😱😱😱

not this shit again

Who cares

Killed one back in may in Maryland

Great. I was just starting to climb in off the ledge.

OMG !!!!! OMG STOP THE PRESSES !!! You called it a 'ASIAN' hornet !!! Is this not RACIST !!!? Yes this is how some of you think and how many news outlets/people freaked out when your buddy Trump called the China Virus the China virus because it was from...CHINA !!! LOLOL

We must lockdown, as lockdowns have been proven to prevent hornet murder, just like with Covid! That's why more people should obey the government, as politicians are superior intellectually as long as they are democrats. People are dying!

This can’t be good news.

I've been stung by a murder hornet.

Hope we find a way to stop these hornets. They are bad news.

Sleep

Dead 'murder hornet' near Seattle is 1st found in US in 2021Scientists 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. Bee's we need, Hornets we can do without. An alien was captured in a similar container in Red Planet
