This invasive and highly destructive insect, considered the largest and most dangerous of its kind in the world, first appeared in the country in 2019 and has continued to spread fear and chaos.
The last sighting of the menacing creature was in Washington state in 2021. The discovery sent shockwaves through the region, as this “killer hornet” exhibited aggressive behaviour, attacking everything in its path.As their nickname suggests, these hornets are capable of wiping out entire hives. Their formidable megamandibles allow them to kill and decapitate thousands of bees, take over the hive and defend it as if it were their own.
