ASIAN HORNETS – BE VIGILANT After record numbers of hornet queens caught in the Spring, at this time of year any Asian Hornet nests are likely to expanding rapidly and preparing to issue the next generation of Hornets to continue colonising Jersey in 2022. Please continue to be vigilant and report anything of concern. Generally, Asian Hornet nests will be high up in trees, but they are occasionally lower down - in brambles, hedges, a garage, roof space, or even on the ground. At such low levels, they can pose a risk to householders and those pursuing outdoor activities. The Hornets themselves are distinctive in that they are generally dark in colour, with one yellow band across their backside, a brighter yellow, thin “belt” at their waist and yellow tips to their legs. They are larger than a wasp or honeybee. If you suspect you’ve seen an Asian Hornet or a nest, try to safely take a picture to help confirm identification, and then contact the Asian Hornet Coordinator on 441633, or asianhornet@gov. je. Sightings can also be reported via the Asian Hornet Watch app, available to download free from Apple and Android app stores. AUGUST 2021 | | 07
