This is impressive in this video that someone developed a way to follow these giant Asian hornets back to the nest by tying a piece of plastic to a adult while it is feeding on a piece of meat. The piece of plastic is large enough to follow with a drone so they can locate the nest and destroy it and the larvae and especially the queen. The size of the hornets is impressive but the size of the nest is mind blowing, if you’ve ever dug up a yellow jackets nest and thought you were seeing an impressive nest. I’ve dug up a yellow jackets nest that was about 20 inches across with several smaller layers, that’s nothing compared to these monstrosities.

If You See Something, Say Something

Or don’t, it really doesn’t matter.   https://x.com/Moraqeb2020/status/1870287560993583464?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwter...
