'Murder hornets' have arrived in the U.S. — here's what you should know...

I few years back I purchased various butterfly bushes off Burgess. One of the bushes that came was a South west variety of milkweed. I live in Northern Michigan. This milkweed has slimmer leaves and flower pods. Last fall it was getting frequented by a super sized hornet, similar to the pic. I couldn't get close enough for a good pic, it chases me, and am not sure how to kill it, or them. I didnt want to spray the flowers because of other stuff feeding. I never thought a hornet that big was around here. I'll have to get a pic this summer when it returns to feed. It sure loves these flowers compared to local milkweed.

get a landscape torch, no wasp in the world will be flying after even a millisecond of heat from that thing. they are helpless without their wings
 

I'm not against killing it, just didnt get around to it, because I didnt know it was invasive and killer, which it might not be. I'm sure to find out this summer. If it's the bad kind I'll try to follow it to the nest, then torch them all..

No Murder hornet yet, other hornets, wasps, and bees love this milkweed.
