Yippee.

Found in Washington State.

Did they fly here on a jet stream? Sure seems like a long way to get here. 😂

IIRC this was found up by the Canadian border. Perhaps Vancouver BC

Worse yet, they have identified two distinctly different varieties, indicating they did not arrive together. They are on Vancouver Island, and at the border near Blaine.

I don't know how to embed a video. But here's a guy who filmed himself getting stung by one of these murder hornets.

Probably from Fukushima. I'm hoping they lead to a superhero and not a super villain, but I'm not optimistic.

The so-called "Murder Hornet", or Vespa mandarinia is one of seven species of giant hornet from the genus "Vespa".

It is indigenous from far East Russia, mainland Southeast Asia, and tropical Asia. It is a lowlands burrowing hornet: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asian_giant_hornet
