Vespa velutina (Asian hornet)[edit]
https://www.bwars.com/Vespa_velutina
- Vespa velutina (Hymenoptera: Vespidae)(κοινή ονομασία η Ασιατική Σφήκα) είναι μία σφήκα που προέρχεται από την Νοτιο-Ανατολική Ασία και εντοπίστηκε αρχικά στη Γαλλία το 2005. Τρέφεται με ζωντανά και νεκρά έντομα μεσαίου ή μεγάλου μεγέθους. Έχει αρνητικές επιπτώσεις σε κοινωνικά έντομα κυρίως υμενόπτερα όπως οι μέλισσες. Τα τελευταία χρόνια εξαπλώνεται στην Ασία όπου είναι ξενικό εισβλητικό είδος στην Νότια Κορέα και την Ιαπωνία και το υποείδος V.v. nigrithorax εισήχθη κατά λάθος στην Ευρώπη (πρώτη καταγραφή στην Νότια Γαλλία το 2005) και έκτοτε έχει εξαπλωθεί σε Ισπανία, Πορτογαλία, Βέλγιο, Ιταλία , Ηνωμένο Βασίλειο, Ιταλία, Ολλανδία, Γερμανία,στα νησιά της Μάγχης και στις Βαλεαρίδες νήσους.Αυτό το ξενικό εισβλητικό είδος απειλεί την παραγωγή μελιού και τα έντομα επικονιαστές. Μπορεί να εισαχθεί σε μια περιοχή κατά λάθος με την μεταφορά χώματος, φυτών, επίπλων κήπου, γλαστρών, λαχανικών, ειδών κάμπινγκ κτλ.
Πρόκειται για σφήκα λίγο μικρότερη σε μέγεθος από την Ευρωπαϊκή σφήκα (Vespa cabro) με βασίλισες περίπου σε μέγεθος μέχρι 30 χιλιοστόμετρα και εργάτες μέχρι 25 χιλιοστόμετρα μήκος. Μπορεί κάποιος να τις αναγνωρίσει εύκολα από τα χαρακτηριστικά τους και δύσκολα μπορεί να την μπερδέψει με κάποιο άλλο είδος
Slightly smaller than the native European Hornet. Ο θώρακας είναι μαύρος ή σκούρος καφέ με τα κοιλιακά τμήματα να έχουν λεπτές κίτρινες ταινίες και το τέταρτο τμήμα να είναι σχεδόν ολοκληρωτικά κίτρινο-πορτοκαλί
The thorax is a velvety black / dark
brown with brown abdominal segments bordered
with a fine yellow band. Only the fourth abdominal
segment is almost entirely a yellowy-orange. The
legs are brown with yellow ends and the head is
black with an orange-yellow face.
As with other social wasps, the colonies last one
season, and only the fertilised queens hibernate.
In France, the Asian Hornet nests in tall trees in urban and rural areas, but avoids pure stands of conifers. Nests are also found in garages, sheds, under
decking - or much more rarely, in holes in walls or in
the ground.
Vespa velutina is a day flying species which, unlike the
European Hornet, ceases all activity at dusk. It is a
proven predator of social wasps and bees, including
Honeybees, but as in V. crabro, it also consumes a
wide variety of other insect prey. V. velutina is not
generally aggressive, although the stings can be painful. Large nests (usually those in trees) should certainly be avoided.
The impact on Honeybees can be limited merely by
reducing the hive entrance to a narrow slit. So far,
predation of honeybees in France by V. velutina seems
to be limited to the adults rather than the brood .
Please notify the National Bee Unit (NBU) immediately (email address below) of any suspect hornets,
providing as much information as possible. If possible, send the NBU a sample for examination
