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

Jinsi ya kumtambua
- 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

Akidunga
- Kwangua mwiba wa nyuki na upoze mahali hapo.
- Mtu akipata shida ya kupumua, uso au koo likivimba, au akijisikia kuzimia, hiyo ni dharura ya mzio: piga namba ya dharura na umtumie kalamu yake ya adrenalini kama anayo.
Daima piga namba ya dharura kwanza (112, 000, 911). Huu ni mwongozo wa jumla wa huduma ya kwanza, si ushauri wa kitabibu. Misingi ya huduma ya kwanza
Kaa salama
- Kamwe usimguse, kumkamata wala kumchokoza mnyama wa porini, hata akiwa mdogo, na hata akionekana amelala au amekufa.
- Mpe nafasi. Ukikutana naye, tulia, rudi nyuma polepole na umwache aende zake.
- Akikudunga: tulia, usitikisike, piga namba yako ya dharura (112, 000, 911) au nenda hospitali haraka. Kumbuka alivyoonekana, picha husaidia.
Hakuwindi wewe. Hutumia sumu yake kukamata chakula au kujilinda, na hupendelea zaidi kujificha. Zaidi kuhusu kukaa salama
