Asian hornet
The Asian hornet is a hornet from Southeast Asia that has spread to many other countries, including most of Europe, where it is an invasive species. It is a concern because it hunts honeybees and its stings can be serious for people.1

Kā to atpazīt
- Queens are about 3 cm long, males about 2.4 cm and workers about 2 cm, so it is significantly smaller than the European hornet.1
- Its legs (tarsi) are yellow, which gives it the name yellow-legged hornet.1
- The thorax is velvety brown or black, with a brown abdomen.1
- Each abdominal segment has a narrow yellow border at the back, except the fourth segment, which is orange.1
- The head is black and the face is yellow.1
Bieži jauc ar: It looks like the European hornet (V. crabro), which is much larger. Its nest exit is usually on the side rather than at the bottom.1
Indes spēks
Inde iznāk caur dzeloni.
Ko nodara tā inde?
Multiple stings have caused anaphylactic shock, a severe allergic reaction, in people who were hospitalised in France.1
Cik bīstams tas ir cilvēkiem?
Bīstamība cilvēkiem: SāpīgsTas var ļoti sāpēt, bet gandrīz nekad nav nopietni.Although the species is not aggressive, people have been attacked after disturbing nests. A man in Galicia, Spain, was killed in 2017 after being stung over 20 times while pruning an apple tree. Several people have died in south west France, including in 2019 and 2020. Because of its larger size, its stings are more serious than those of western honeybees.1
Ko tas dara, kad ir nobijies?
When it feels its nest is threatened, it charges in a group.1
Ja tas iedzeļ
- Izskrāpē bites dzeloni un atvēsini vietu.
- Ja cilvēkam ir grūti elpot, pietūkst seja vai rīkle vai viņš jūtas tuvu ģībonim, tā ir alerģiska ārkārtas situācija: zvani uz savu ārkārtas numuru un izmanto viņa adrenalīna autoinjektoru (pildspalvu), ja viņam tāds ir.
Vienmēr vispirms zvani uz savu ārkārtas numuru (112, 000, 911). Tie ir vispārīgi pirmās palīdzības padomi, nevis medicīniska konsultācija. Pirmās palīdzības pamati
Esi drošībā
- Nekad neaiztiec, neķer un neķircini savvaļas dzīvnieku, pat mazu, un pat ja tas izskatās aizmidzis vai miris.
- Dod tam vietu. Ja tādu satiec, saglabā mieru, lēnām atkāpies un ļauj tam iet savu ceļu.
- Ja tāds tev iedzeļ: saglabā mieru, nekusties, zvani uz savu ārkārtas numuru (112, 000, 911) vai ātri dodies uz slimnīcu. Atceries, kā tas izskatījās, foto palīdz.
Tas nav nolēmis tevi medīt. Tas izmanto indi, lai noķertu barību vai aizsargātos, un daudz labprātāk paslēptos. Vairāk par drošību
Cik tas ir liels?
Cik tas ir garš?
apmēram tikpat garš kā saspraude

Fakti
In its native range, its main prey is the eastern honeybee, which defends the hive by balling hornets and raising the temperature inside the ball to a level that kills the hornet.1
A hornet hunting honeybees holds a territory of about 0.5 m² above a beehive and catches bees as they return to the hive.1
It is believed to have reached France in boxes of pottery from China in 2004.1
A colony often starts a nest in a low shrub, then abandons it after some months and builds a new one high in a tree, possibly to avoid parasites.1
Young queens leave the colony in late autumn and hibernate over winter.1
Mītu grāvējs
Mīts: Asian hornets are aggressive and will attack anyone who comes near.
Patiesība: The species is not aggressive, but it will charge in a group when it feels its nest is threatened.1
