The United States faces a deadly threat from the giant killer wasp, known as the “murder hornet.” This invasive insect, the largest and most dangerous of its kind, first appeared in the country in 2019. It continues to spread fear and havoc.
In response, the WSDA is setting up live traps and tagging captured wasps to locate their nests. Officials near the US-Canada border are also installing traps to prevent further spread.
The spread of the “murder hornet” highlights the dangers nature can pose. Monitoring and controlling this invasive species is crucial to protecting ecosystems and public safety.
