The Yellow-Legged Hornet, previously commonly known as the Asian Hornet, is an invasive non-native hornet originally from Asia. A highly aggressive predator of native insects, posing a significant threat to honey bees and other pollinators. Accidentally introduced to France in 2004 where it spread rapidly. In 2016 the first UK sighting was confirmed in Gloucestershire.

Yellow-Legged Hornets are now here in the UK.

Help stop their invasion.

Non-Native Species Secretariat, (email: nnss@apha.gsi.gov.uk), should be notified of sightings.
