It’s common for our extension office to receive calls from residents asking if the specimen they’ve seen is a yellow-legged hornet. I’m always happy to help! With that said here’s a Georgia Department of Ag website with more information about their detection in the state a year ago, how to trap them, how to identify them, and report them. https://agr.georgia.gov/yellow-legged-hornet
Also, below is the latest issue of the “Yellow-Legged Ledger” which discusses the three secondary nest found at the end of last month in/around the Savannah area. I personally have not seen them in this part of the state as of this writing, but good to be observant and reach out with questions.
