Asian giant hornet
The Asian giant hornet is the world's largest hornet. It lives in forests and low mountains across much of East, South and Southeast Asia. Its sting carries a large amount of potent venom, so it is one of the hornets people should be most careful around.1

Kako jo prepoznaš
- The head is a light orange shade, and the eyes are dark brown to black.1
- The thorax is dark brown, and the two wings are grey.1
- The abdomen has bands of dark brown or black alternating with yellow-orange, and the sixth segment is yellow.1
- The body is about 4.5 cm long, and queens are larger than workers.1
Pogosto zamenjujejo z: It is often confused with the European hornet, the eastern cicada killer and the southern yellowjacket. Thousands of photos sent in from the eastern United States, where this hornet has never been found, turned out to be these or other wasps, bees and insects.1

Če piči
- Čebelje želo postrgaj ven in mesto ohladi.
- Če ima poškodovanec težave z dihanjem, otekel obraz ali grlo ali se mu vrti, kot da bo omedlel, gre za nujno stanje zaradi alergije: pokliči številko za klic v sili in uporabi njegov adrenalinski avtoinjektor, če ga ima.

Ostani varen
- Nikoli se ne dotikaj divje živali, je ne lovi in je ne draži, tudi če je majhna in tudi če je videti, kot da spi ali je mrtva.
- Pusti ji prostor. Če jo srečaš, ostani miren, počasi stopi nazaj in jo pusti, da gre svojo pot.
- Če te piči: ostani miren, ne premikaj se, pokliči številko za klic v sili (112, 000, 911) ali hitro pojdi v bolnišnico. Zapomni si, kako je izgledala, fotografija pomaga.
Ne preži nate. Strup uporablja, da ulovi hrano ali se zaščiti, in se veliko raje skrije. Več o varnosti

Razbijalec mitov
