Q? Next thing from China? Seems convenient that there are separate nests almost as if they’re planted ? Felt hopeful for a second, but now.
Quote: One of the most disturbing parts of The Times’ report on the Asian Giant Hornet was the revelation that at least two nests had been discovered across the border in Canada, and the nests were not related, “meaning there had probably been at least two different introductions in the region.”
While it’s not exactly clear how this invasive species made it from Asia to the United States, Looney did have some thoughts as to how they got here.
Looney said that it’s possible that someone deliberately brought them here because “in a lot of Asian countries, these big meaty wasps are food, and so it’s entirely possible that somebody brought these to try and cultivate a food source in North America.”
Looney also added that it was also possible that the Asian Giant Hornet was brought here on container ships carrying food and other goods. https://www.dailywire.com/news/asian-giant-hornets-invading-washington-state-pose-numerous-threats-to-u-s?%3Futm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=dwtwitter
