Look out for hornets in Auckland!
⚠️Public urged to look out for hornets in Auckland⚠️
Biosecurity New Zealand has been quick to respond to the threat of a small yellow-legged hornet (YLH) nest reported by a resident in the suburb of Glenfield.
It is the first time that a queen YLH has been found in New Zealand, after two male hornets were found earlier this year.
The YLH feeds on honeybees 🐝💔 as well as other insects.
We are very fortunate to be free of hornet populations in NZ. Please spread this to your networks—we need the help of Aucklanders to eliminate any further risk.
Take a photo of any suspected sightings 📸 (as with any wasp keep your distance) and report it online at report.mpi.govt.nz or call 0800 80 99 66. ☎️
What do yellow-legged hornets look like?
These hornets (a hornet is a type of wasp) are larger than the other five species of wasps in NZ. They are round 2 cm to 3 cm long with a black head and a yellow face. Between the first and second abdominal segment is a narrow yellow band. The wings are a smoky brown colour and not transparent like other common wasps.
