We’ve all seen the articles everywhere, but when I look at it, it looks exactly like what I’ve always known to be a Japanese hornet. They’ve been on the east coast since I can remember (just turned 31). I even remember my grandma saying she was stung by one as a kid (she was born in the ‘20s) and that the pain was unimaginable and made her “see stars”.
It’s hard to find a picture in google but the closest thing I saw is an European Hornet. They look pretty similar. Have I been misclassifying these bees my whole life?
