WE DID IT. WE SQUASHED THE BUGS.

Check out how pumped this guy is about the news:

Yes, the invasive Asian Murder Hornets have been eradicated in the United States, according to the USDA. The nightmare is over.

THE D.C. SWAMP FINALLY DID SOMETHING PRODUCTIVE!!

It’s hard to believe.

The Washington and U.S. Departments of Agriculture announced the eradication Wednesday, saying there had been no detections of the northern giant hornet in Washington since 2021.

The news represented an enormous success that included residents agreeing to place traps on their properties and reporting sightings, as well as researchers capturing a live hornet, attaching a tiny radio tracking tag to it with dental floss, and following it through a forest to a nest in an alder tree. Scientists destroyed the nest just as a number of queens were just beginning to emerge, officials said.

JUST IN THE NICK OF TIME.

Combine this with the power of the bumble bee adapting to defend itself from the murder hornets…

And we have ourselves a genuine environmental success story.

And thank goodness!

‘I’ve gotta tell you, as an entomologist — I’ve been doing this for over 25 years now, and it is a rare day when the humans actually get to win one against the insects,’ Sven Spichiger, pest program manager of the Washington State Department of Agriculture, told a virtual news conference.
