Today we are focusing on identification. Correct ID is essential. A fast flying insect is not always easy to identify. Yellow-legged Asian hornets are large, noisy and have a dark appearance. By the end of July 2024 a new record of 23,000 reports have been made. #asianhornet

🧳If you're off on your hols, please don't bring 🌿plants back to the UK. They could be carrying the dangerous plant disease, Xylella. Any outbreak in the UK would be devastating for our environment and economy. Don't risk it! #PlantHealthWeek
