Getting a New Name
The largest hornet in Japan is the “oosuzumebachi.” It is found in many parts of East Asia and Southeast Asia, but in 2019, it was discovered in the northwestern U.S. for the first time. It is very big, its sting is painful, and it kills and eats other bees. It was called the “murder hornet” and the “Asian giant hornet.” Beekeepers in the U.S. became very worried about their bees, and others were worried that it would kill people. Actually, there are other hornets from Asia, and this hornet doesn’t usually attack people. For these reasons, scientists have decided to give it a new name for the U.S.: the “Northern giant hornet.” It still sounds dangerous but not as deadly.
