Look out for hornets
There have been recent detections of yellow-legged hornets (Vespa velutina) in Auckland.
If you think you have found a hornet or its nest in your area, take a clear photo and report:
• online at report.mpi.govt.nz
• by calling our exotic pest and disease hotline on 0800 80 99 66
The yellow-legged hornet has distinctive dark legs with bright yellow tips. Hornets are also much larger than honeybees and common wasp species seen in New Zealand.
The yellow-legged hornet is a biosecurity concern due to its potential impact on honeybee and wild bee populations.
