Asian hornet research. Researcher pointing to a screen display of a computed tomography (CT) scan of a nest built by the invasive Asian hornet species Vespa velutina. Wasp nests are made of wood pulp. The scan shows the internal cells within which the larvae develop into adults. The larvae are fed by the wasps' prey,which includes bees and other insects. This hornet,also called the Asian predatory wasp,first appeared in France in around 2004,and has spread since then,preying on native honeybee species.
