A seventh Asian giant hornet has been found in Whatcom. Here's where it was trapped.
A second Asian giant hornet has been found in a Washington State Department of Agriculture trap — this one near Custer, the agency announced on Monday, Aug. 17.
It was the first male Asian giant hornet to be found in the U.S., according to the department’s news release.
The latest brings to seven the number of Asian giant hornets found in Washington state, and subsequently the U.S., since 2019. All seven were found in Whatcom County.
The hornet was caught in a bottle trap, which was collected on July 29 and processed at the department of agriculture’s entomology lab Thursday, Aug. 13.
