More Asian giant hornets found in Washington

The bad is news that nine Asian giant hornets have been found in Washington state in the last year. The good news is the nasty bugs — most two inches long with stingers nearly a quarter-inch in length — have only been found in Whatcom County, and they don’t seem to be spreading far. At least not yet.
