A 'murder hornet' has been trapped for the first time in Washington after several confirmed sightings

In Friday's announcement, Washington's agriculture department said that the hornet was found in a trap on July 14 and identified during lab processing on July 29. This hornet marks the first discovered in a trap as opposed to the previous five reported sightings where the bees were in their natural environment, according to the WSDA.

"This is encouraging because it means we know that the traps work," Sven Spichiger, managing entomologist of the WSDA said in a press release. "But it also means we have work to do." The WSDA reported that it plans to use infrared cameras and additional traps to catch living hornets in order to track and destruct these insects' colonies. The USDA says in the event of encountering a murder hornet, witnesses should "calmly leave the area." WSDA advises witnesses of murder hornets to report it to the agency.

Oh, here we go again. Shark season scare tactics are peaking, always a fave as summer beach vacationing picks up. Now, we have giant killer hornets. And, from the Orient, of course.

Trapped? Get the flamethrower and finish the job.
