For the first time the Asian hornet Vespa velutina has been found in Hamburg (Northern Germany). So far this is the northernmost occurrence of this originally SE-Asian species in Europe and in the world.

The find may suggest that the species will possibly spread much faster than previously anticipated and modelled. |
