2011-10-18 Chinese Hornet

 

Not something we ever wanted to see, allegedly a bee killing hornet, if you Google it, the statistics are amazing……we had seen this one, or maybe more (!) flying around and managed to capture it for ID purpose…….. we then disposed of it in a bucket of water…….

 

P1020085

 

How we understand it, is that ordinary hornets reduce in number, to usually only the queen, during the winter……with these, the whole colony can survive.
