Report Sightings of Yellow Legged Hornet

[SarahFair]

In August 2023, the Georgia Department of Agriculture (GDA), in coordination with the United States Department of Agriculture Plant & Animal Health Inspection Service (USDA APHIS) and the University of Georgia, confirmed the presence of a yellow-legged hornet (YLH; Vespa velutina) near Savannah, Ga. This is the first time a live specimen of this species has been detected in the open United States.

The yellow-legged hornet poses a threat to honeybees and other pollinators in our state.

...

The public plays an important role, and we are asking Georgians to report sightings of the yellow-legged hornet using this online reporting form.
