    I did not know that these little monsters could grow to 2" long. They have not been seen on U.S. soil since 2021, so they have been declared eradicated. The population in British Columbia has also been eliminated. More of a problem for people in the Northwest than in Florida, but I am amazed that an invasive species could be destroyed so quickly.

    Invasive 'murder hornets' are wiped out in the US, officials say

    Charlotte should change their name/mascot from the hornets to the “murder hornets”.

    Good news! Asian hornets would absolutely crater domestic (and European) bee populations.

    Would they have part of the stands re-named "murderers row"? They probably would not want to encourage fans to murder opposing fans--you know some of them would.
