The giant killer wasp, considered by experts to be the largest and most dangerous in the world, was first spotted in the United States in 2019.
In the state of Washington, for the first time this year, an invasive and destructive “murder hornet” was sighted, and the alien-looking insect was behaving accordingly – attacking anything in its path.
The wasp, which can reach a length of 4.4 centimeters, was detected on August 11, just 3.2 kilometers
from the initial discovery of this species in the US in December 2019, near Blaine, Washington, according to the Washington State Department of Agriculture (WSDA).
