One flew through the open window of my first floor North London flat back in May/June of this year. We were quite nervous about it, especially my O/H , who comes from a country where hornets proliferate and are dangerous.
So we shut the door and left it, hoping it would fly away from whence it came. But it didn't. Early in the morning, I discovered it in a very feeble state, crawling on the floor.It died shortly after, but I did not think to photograph it.
We have the first Asian hornets arriving in Guernsey yesterday - they are said to molest the common bee - we have been asked to look out and report any sightings.
