Identification

How to identify the Asian hornet in Germany?

The yellow-legged Asian hornet, Vespa velutina, can be identified by a very dark thorax, a mostly dark abdomen with a broad orange band, and yellow leg tips.

  • Primary nests are often visible in spring in a shelter, shed, hedge or under a roof edge.
  • Secondary nests are often larger, sometimes high in trees, and visible in summer and autumn.
  • Do not intervene directly: keep your distance and report the observation.

Before reporting

The more precise your report is, the more useful it will be for monitoring in Germany.

  • Add a clear photo if possible.
  • Indicate the estimated nest height.
  • Specify the support: tree, roof, hedge, shed or facade.
  • Use geolocation on mobile for better accuracy.
