怎样认出它

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

常被误认为： 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

如果它蜇人

刮掉蜜蜂的蜇针，冷敷患处。
如果这个人呼吸困难、脸或喉咙肿胀，或感觉要晕倒，这是过敏急症：拨打急救电话，如果他们有肾上腺素笔就使用。

一定先拨打你的急救电话（112、000、911）。这里是一般急救指导，不是医疗建议。急救基础

注意安全

永远不要摸、抓或逗弄野生动物，即使是很小的，即使它看起来在睡觉或已经死了。
给它留出空间。如果遇到它，保持冷静，慢慢后退，让它走自己的路。
如果被它蜇了：保持冷静，保持不动，拨打你的急救电话（112、000、911）或尽快去医院。记住它长什么样，拍张照片会有帮助。

它不是冲着你来的。它用毒液捕猎或保护自己，而且它更愿意躲起来。更多安全知识

值得了解

事实

It is the world's largest hornet.1

Its stinger is about 6 mm long, and it injects a large amount of potent venom.1

It was found briefly in the Pacific Northwest of North America from late 2019, and it was eradicated there by December 2024.1

The species has existed since the Miocene epoch, based on fossils found in the Shanwang Formation in China.1

Male drones are similar in size to females but have no stinger, which is typical of the order Hymenoptera.1

谣言粉碎机

谣言： Any large wasp or hornet seen in the eastern United States is an Asian giant hornet.

真相： None of the thousands of samples submitted from the eastern United States, where this hornet has never occurred, was this species. They were mostly other wasps such as the European hornet.1
