Three were detected in Glenfield and one in Birkdale, about 1.3 km from the initial detection in Glenfield.
Yellow-legged hornets pose a biosecurity risk because of their potential impact on honeybee and wild bee populations.
Members of the public are asked to report any sightings of suspected hornets or nests, but only if they have a specimen, a clear photo of the suspected hornet, or have found a possible hornet nest.
Reports can be made through report.mpi.govt.nz or by calling Biosecurity New Zealand’s exotic pest and disease hotline on 0800 809 966.
🔍 Identifying yellow-legged hornets:
The yellow-legged hornet has distinctive dark legs with bright yellow tips. In contrast, common wasp species in New Zealand, such as the German wasp (Vespula germanica), typically have uniformly yellow or yellow-striped legs.
The yellow-legged hornet is also much larger than honey bees and common wasp species seen in New Zealand.

Risk to New Zealand from hornets:
The yellow-legged hornet is a biosecurity concern due to its potential impact on honeybee and wild bee populations. It primarily feeds on bees, wasps, and flies. It may compete with native insects and birds for food, and it has a painful sting.
Since 17 October 2025, 9 confirmed queen hornets have been found in Glenfield and Birkdale. All detected hornets and nests have been safely removed.
The best surveillance tool we have is for people to report any sightings of suspected hornets or hornet nests.
Biosecurity New Zealand is aware of members of the public taking previously published photos of the hornet and posting them on social media, with claims it is a new discovery in a different region of New Zealand. This means confirmation from photographs alone is not possible and could be misleading.
Need help identifying hornets and their nests? Head here.
Reports can be made at report.mpi.govt.nz
