23 September 2025 16:06 | Anonymous member (Administrator)

This year is the worst year on record for credible sightings and nests destroyed.

The range of the insect has extended from the South of the UK to locations in the North.

Confirmed sightings are on record for North Yorkshire and Runcorn in Cheshire.

A reported sighting was also recorded for Cork in Ireland. This is the second hornet to be found in Ireland, the first being in Dublin in 2021.
