Asian Hornet Resources

Containment of the Asian Hornet won't be possible without the public reporting suspected sightings. To help raise public awareness of the Asian Hornet we have developed some educational materials, which we encourage you to use and disseminate widely.

Helping identification and reporting

Here are some education materials you can download and share.
