Washington state has trapped its first Asian giant hornet — or, what we've come to know as the 'murder hornet'

Washington state has trapped its first Asian giant hornet -- or, what we've come to know as the"murder hornet."

More than two inches long, the hornets get their nickname from their propensity to attack and kill honeybees and potentially, people.Up until now, five giant hornets had officially been sighted in the state. This is the first one found in a trap, according to a news release.Invasive giant hornets have been spotted in the US for the first time Officials announced Friday that they had identified the Asian giant hornet earlier this week from a trap collected near Birch Bay on July 14.

How long do we shut down for this pandamic to pass?

This story died off months ago stop trying to resuscitate it

davidalangrier 😁

Last seen in crowded bar, not wearing a mask.

One day, they will disappear, just like a miracle.

I was wondering what happened to this story line when they dropped it mid-season.

Where did he come from

HillaryClinton the deadliest of them all.

Wow good job guy's. Now we must murder this Asia murder honest. Asap. 🐝🤺😷✌

, the name 'murder hornet' is extremely offensive for Asian gaint hornet.

I can’t take no more

Tapped in a cage ?

No surprised at all, it's 2020. Maybe next Hurricane, flood, earthquake, meteor... Keep calm 😎👌

Oh no, let’s lock down. Why didn’t trump stop this by hiring Barry the Bee

“They’re not sending their best...”

We need the Japanese bees.

It might be hard to choice 'the Sterile insect technique' for giant hornet.

I saw an Asian leave a spider at a rest area men's room in Washington once.

You know there is always an animal out to get us, take dogs as an example. Killer dogs went from German Shepard's, to Doberman's, Rottweiler's and now Pit Bull's. There is always some poor animal that is going to decimate humans, but truth is we decimate them.

I knew they’d be back!

We must lockdown the country until we eradicate these killers from the planet! There's no other option!

Chinese again?!?...but Biden wants to.bend over and hold his ankles for CCP. No thanks.

A real live murder hornet. BillClintonIsStillAPedo

Trap and tag? No gas them when the ships dock containing Chinese goods.

Did you put him on the payroll?

I wonder how big the queen is?

I could take that guy.

(C&P) Japanese honeybees can withstand temperatures of 118°F, and the Japanese giant hornet can withstand temperatures of 115°F. Not much room for error, only a 2°F difference!

(C&P) Temperatures can reach up to 117°F, so the honeybees aren't messing around. The temperature is so precise! According to National Geographic,

Scary creature

(C&P) When a scout comes snooping around their hive, they'll sit quietly like a Trojan horse while the scout enters the hive through a narrow opening. Then, when they have her trapped, they'll surround her in large numbers and form a “bee ball.”

(C&P) Japanese honeybees, on the other hand, know all of the tricks of Japanese hornets, and they've developed a way to fend them off.

The honey killer

Hopefully hornets can’t carry covid 🙄

chickwerner

Very racist

What an UGLY MTF!!!

Trapped? Are they going to cage them and put them in prison for murder?

Let them loose in Washington and Oregon

Good...the other hornets will look for their missing friend and stay there.

BillClintonIsAPedo MaxwellDocuments

The Chinese killer hornet

are they aggressive.. like 'yellow jackets'.. or are they (if left alone) docile.. like a 'honey bee'.. if they're aggressive.. go ahead.. call them 'murder hornets'..

Not the Redpainter1 wasp variety 😊.

Feed it some mystery seeds

We found another food source

I got stung by one last summer in Nanaimo BC while accidentally sitting by a nest. It was one of the most painful experiences of my life and took months to heal.

IF THEY THINK ITS ALONE THEY HAVE MISTAKEN BIG TIME HAHA

The hornet identifies as a bumble bee. Get it right, CNN.

Took that long, is this a distraction? Now whats gonna happen.

MsMeeToo

Welcome to the apocalypse, folks! Please enjoy your stay.

Meanwhile this one’s still on the loose...

Hillary? Is that you

What, is it August already?

Now do the rioters...

The UFOs or those off world vehicles will zap them !

Pull its wings off

A bit theatrics there.

Y’all ain’t give up in this one yet huh..

We got him!

Oh are you bringing those back? Where is your piece on lowering drug prices?

It’s just another hornet... you have to be stung by many to die. notruthnopeace justfear

WE KNOW

Are you guys ever going to talk about ghislaine documents that implies bill clinton in pedo island

what part of Asia?

Planted by the Chinese Hope it gets to the rioters in Portland

Viruses, seeds, mega hornets - Made in China

Ahh man....😞Why are they always one of the first states for these things from Asia

I saw one in New Jersey yesterday. They are nasty looking

YES Mr President Global warming not happening !!! But because its an Asian Hornet suppose he will blame the whole of Asia ?

Cool, maybe we can send the Nazis that just got kicked out of Portland to guard the hornets. Much better use of their skills than beating up peaceful protesters.

You already ran this story yesterday. Pathetic.

This is news? Fear Monger Much?

This has been a thing for months.

Why you guys keep posting the same shit?

BillClintonIsAPedophile

Oh great! That buffoon trump is gonna blame it on china, yuk!

2020: AUGUST HAS ENTERED THE CHAT!

And they named it Donald..

Prosecute him or her.

Isn’t it calling it “Asian” racist CNN? I thought calling something with a name descriptive of where it came from was “Racist.” Racist CNN. ChinaVirus

Damn Asians' first the Corona and now the Hornets

Fake news

Another Democratic hoax?

So how come fake news hasn’t blamed president Trump for this ?

If Trump calls it the Asian Giant Hornet will CNN lose their minds and start posting how that is bad for Asian Americans and now racist he is? My money is on yes.

2020, the year China cursed the world.

go_ask_china 😂

morgfair I prefer cicada killers.

😱

Bruh Grass Hoppers have been killing them for Months

CNN loves to spread fear don’t they?

Need banana for scale

Just 1?

Thank you 2020. 😐

Murder Hornet: I'm a Murder Hornet and we're gonna kill 'em all. Praying Mantis: Shit! Hold my Beer. 🍻 🤣

WTF is it with Washington state?

WTG CNN bet this is Trump’s fault. Spread ur panic and fear.

I watched a vid of a praying mantis eating a 'murder hornet.'

If you get Chinese seed in the mail, simply “return to sender” by putting it back in the fucking mail.

* “or what the media has declared the murder hornet to scare the shit out of you”

Nice try guys but we don't care.

It has since escaped and rejoined its hive. They are coordinating as we speak. May god have mercy on our souls.

Now let it go in the White House Oval Office. Let it be free! POTUS realDonaldTrump

How big is that MF’er?

They’ve tweeted this story at least 4 times in the last 24 hours lol

They think trapped.

How do they know it’s the first ever “murder hornet” tho? It could be the second that they trapped...

And just how big is this ‘murder hornet’ that was trapped? Can you provide a reference with like a quarter or something please so we know if aside from a mask we should consider getting beekeeper suits or rocket launchers!

Bwahahahaha!!!! The next “pandemic “, like the African bees.....

Yeahhh thank god id be crazy to encounter them

Coming from CNN. What next? The hornets have a new strain of Covid, which were released by federal agents. At the orders of Trump! Wouldn’t be surprised

November is around the corner. They are bound to keep finding things

Level 3 has started

Of course they did. It's not like we are going through enough already lets bring in the 'murder hornets'!

These came from China also. Another act of war by the Chinese. It is past time to eliminate the threat to the world that is the government of the People’s Republic of China,

It took them this long? 😱😶

Only a few million more to go

Let’s not detain him or vet him. We should release him into the general population giving him a court date to review his illegal immigration status. I’m sure he’ll show up.

Well, that’s one less we need to worry about. Well done Washington!

Well I'll bee.

It's okay Washington State, there is a song for that...

Dude.. I caught one in a glass of wine at Thanksgiving.. used a napkin and a hair elastic.. is that also headline news

The use of the descriptors “murder” and “Asian” for a misunderstood creature is deeply troubling, and exposes the character and hypocrisy of every singular person employed by CNN. It’s also extremely offensive. Please do better. Have Brian Stelter offer an on air public apology.

Too late trump & his cohorts r already in the WH

So the plan is “trap them” and the tote board is currently sitting at one? Back to the drawing board, right?

Fake news

What's going on here?....now murder hornets from Asian,The Chinese seeds in the mail don't plant. The virus.. we are being attack.....

Oh no - the 'Chinese' hornet. Trump will love this.

Eek!

Ridiculous story!! More fear mongering!

Pretty sure they'll have to catch more than one

Its Trump fault, isn’t it?

Is it Chinese?

Really? No other news, huh? Fausty admitting Trump's responses to C19 saved lives didn't rate for you hacks?

One. You trapped one. I'm sure this will stop the infestation. Great job.

I thought they were supposed to wipe out the country a month ago.

Don’t tell Trump !! Another Asian invasion !!!

Now they are hunting bees for experiment's Thats not good.

Just what America needs — another invasion.

Take that bees!

Nice mug shot

Yawn* y'all are trash.

Anything but the murder hornets

No pearls, diamonds, rubies, nor tiera - hardly a queen. Probably an impotent heifer.

😂😂😂

INDIAN DID IT

OH F!!

They got here months ago and they caught their first one? OJ's hunt for the real killers can't believe how inept this is

Is this one of them I saw this earlier

BILL CLINTON WAS WITH TWO YOUNG GIRLS ON EPSTEINS ISLAND! NOW, THAT'S NEWS!

1 down crud load to go.Glad CNN is doing some good honest journalism.

Didn’t Covid start in Washington State also What is with this state!!

How much toilet paper should we buy ? 😂

I don’t think you’re allowed to say it’s Asian in Washington State

aren't all hornets murder hornets?

Those kind of beers have bad venom it’s not good to get bit by one of those lawn that in school

Come to my house I saw one and it built it’s nest in front of my house this thing was huge at least 2 inches long and a time before this it mysteriously came into my house and slapped me in the ear.its wings sounded like a helicopter kid u not.

I don't know why y'all trippin we got those things ery where in Alabama. Just don't piss them off.

Just mail that shit back to them we don't have time for this.

There plan is to trap each Hornet individually?!?! Bold strategy Cotton let’s see if it pays off

It's fucking HOW BIG Fuck this, I am moving to someplace with frozen tundra.

For those that do not read the book, search for the ten greatest plagues listed in the REAL BOOK. My creator is the real king. Everything else is fake.

Hmmm, China and Washington, COINCIDENCE? Too fuckin funny

I don’t think this is an accident !

And by “trapping” they mean blown into smithereens, right? Pretty please? 😁

Wait. Didn’t Covid start in Washington state?

Baskin bees

This is terrible

TheWarMonitor It coming.

They’re back!

How about the seeds?

Season 1 callback!

Coronavirus, seeds, murder hornet, what's the next? Take down CCP,they are Devil.

Has the same face colour as the Donald. Apt.

Be careful this can be deadly for those who vulnerable.

Can you please send it to realDonaldTrump He is truly an expert on these things, and the country anxiously looks forward to his in-depth analysis and insight on how best we can handle this soon to be problem. Irony

I thought we moved past the murder hornets?

Where are they on the demon sperm?

Bugs are the least of the problems right now!

Should turn these bitches loose on tRump’s storm troopers.

They gonna use him as a “CI” to snitch on his boys .... watch.

Asian Hornet!?!?!?!? ThAtS RaCiSt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You probably should have completed the story by at least mentioning that hornets have also been found in southern B.C. and on Vancouver Island.

If we men put it in our penis, it would vibrate and cause erotic feelings of delight in us. I want to have insect intercourse with it, but only if you allow. With insects you must allow the insect to penetrate the man, not the other way as that is unholy. Okay, thank you.

Y’all Washington state is large. Next time, say where

Gods like 'I'll give you a reason to stay your ass inside'.

So, ONE was captured. One.

And don’t get your panties in a wad either people. When I say, “No longer affecting”... I’m taking about no more Shock and Awe.... They need a new News Story

Here we go again. Virus is bound to start dropping in cases. Bring back the murder hornets 2.0.

Get the DDT back out!

Will Donald J Trump blame China for this invasion and change its name from “murder hornet” to the “Chinese hornet”?& come up with a new conspiracy theory “they’re out to get me” Jim_Jordan CNN nytimes CuomoPrimeTime WhiteHouse DNC JoeBiden GOP WHO BBCWorld UN nbcsnl

Hope they watch him better than Epstein,

Well good - we need a distraction.

Fake News

Professor Terguson: Guess where did the commy asian giant hornet come from? Mr Helper says, 'Chy-Na' ' Professor Terguson: Good answer. Good answer. I like the way you think, I'm gonna be watchin you.

Lord

How about all these numbers?

At least it hasn't set up a Chaz zone yet. ...or..... Has it ?

They are peaceful let them out no justice no peace

It was on NBC 26 three months ago.

Livestock pestilence is next

CNN is racist. ‘Asian’ hornet? C’mon!!

Yep, definetly killer face.

Pin that thing onto the the 'Welcome to Washington!' sign along the freeway so they know you're not taking their invasion sitting down.

Lol good luck seattle

jaketapper I can only guess what Trump will call it

2 inches! Jesus F Christ. I have got the Coronovirus to the right of me and these mf to the left of me? At least STDs give you a chance to enjoy the memories...

gematria

It is called 'suzume-bachi'(hornet) in Japan.If we are bitten twice by that hornet,it will be fatal..

Looks dead not trapped.

What species can Texas send to invade China?

jaketapper Yup, much more newsworthy than this

Yuk 😡😡

Send them to Portland

Woo hoo! I call dibs on the murder meat.

This species is not as harmful as it appears . Living in Japan, I always find them at the garden of my home in summer. They never attack you unless you stimulate them. But I still get scared when I find tho. Fortunately I’d got stung by other kind of bees several times

I will take a murder hornet over Trump any day

2 months down, one in the bag! NICE!!

When is the court hearing for this poor guy I want to be there

World breaking news at FAKE CNN !! Asian killer hornet is a GIANT !!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

It’s a Democrat hornet 🐝

It's a great step. But we probably need to trap way more!

Mostly peaceful hornet?

Stop with the nonsense don’t you think caused enough chaos

Tell me that is enlarged

Sorry, am i reading onion news?

Wait a minute. I thought it was supposed to be killer toads for August.

Da pohuy.

Ah, the Murder Hornet makes their return!

Wow pretty racist to call it Asian hornet....

It took me 3 cans of Black Flag to get rid of a ground nest. I’m going to need a flamethrower for these SOB’s.

One down, I guess.

Probably labeled as covid death

FREE HIM HE AINT DO NUN

There's only one way to end them: Dr. Serizawa, please prepare the Oxygen Destroyer.

Barely?!? Lmao

2020 really needs to chill out.

There was a documentary on how the Japanese honey bees protect themselves from this killer creature. Perhaps we don’t give our own honey bees enough credit?

CALL IT BY ITS NAME: CHINA HORNET

They might kill fewer people than the Trump Administration.

TheWarMonitor It was Trump's fault of course

Here we go!!

ONE? That ONE has a whole colony somewhere near. Look out . . . Here they come! 🦟🦟🦟

Stop trying to make murder hornets happen. It’s not going to happen. 🙄

Yay back to the murder hornets

😔

Will the police let it out on good behavior?

This type of insect should be examined

That IS A CNN PET 😭😭😭

this was fist reported 3 months ago as a problem and this is the first one? FU

Wait that’s racist
