Washington state has first live 'murder hornet' sighting of 2021, state dept. of agriculture says.

The other confirmed report of a hornet this year was near Marysville in Snohomish County in early June, officials said.

Experts believe it was dead well before that from a previous season based on the timing of when males emerge, but Marysville is around 70 miles south of Blaine. "This new report continues to underscore how important public reporting is for all suspected invasive species, but especially Asian giant hornet,” Washington State Department of Agriculture Managing Entomologist Sven Spichiger said at the time.

Spichiger on Thursday noted that the live hornet spotted this week was attacking paper wasp nests, and he asked anyone in the area with those wasp nests to keep an eye out and report any Asian giant hornet sightings, including the direction that they go when they fly away. Asian giant hornets were first found in the Vancouver Island area of Canada in August 2019, according to theThe species was first found in the United States in Washington state near Blaine, in the northwestern part of the state near the Canadian border, in December of that year.
