The yellow-legged hornet has distinctive dark legs with bright yellow tips. Hornets are also much larger than honeybees and common wasp species seen in New Zealand.
The yellow-legged hornet is a biosecurity concern due to its potential impact on honeybee and wild bee populations.

The latest to join this list of Kiwi produced food which is becoming unaffordable is the Kiwifruit. At $8.99 and & $11.99 for green and gold respectively (more than $1 each) at a local veggie shop, unfortunately it is joining the list of popular/leading exports which we now have to pay exhorbitant prices for.
