Have you seen this insect?
Asian hornet, Vespa velutina - What is it?
A highly aggressive predator of native insects that poses a significant threat to honey bees and
other pollinators. Originally from Asia, in 2004 this invasive non-native species was accidentally
introduced to France where it has spread rapidly and into neighbouring countries. Since 2016 a
number of sightings have been recorded in the UK.
