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<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
