A new study says a large invasive hornet could spread throughout western North America unless coordinated mitigation efforts are implemented. Asian giant hornets are the largest of all hornet species. "Its behaviour both in nesting and its predation behaviour is very different," he said, meaning it may not apply to how the Asian hornet behaves in B.C. Gail Wallin, director of the Invasive Species Council of B.C., said global warming and climate change could favour the insect. Authorities are asking anyone who sees an Asian hornet to report it to the Invasive Species Council of B.C.
