Today, in coordination with @USDA_APHIS, @UGA_CollegeofAg, & @UGAExtension, we announced the confirmed detection of a yellow-legged hornet in Georgia. This is the first live detection of this invasive pest in the open United States. 📺WATCH BELOW 📺 youtu.be/-4yi0mpfW9Q
We are asking the public to report any suspected sightings directly to @GaDeptAg as we work together to eradicate this pest. More info on the yellow-legged hornet is available online at agr.georgia.gov/yellow-legged-….
