A close encounter with an invader. Chanced upon with an Asian hornet also known as the Asian predatory wasp (Vespa velutina) while walking along the rows of agricultural plots leading to the river. This insect have a tendency to invade the ecosystem of other countries and can pose a threath to the biodiversity as well as to humans. In European countries, this insect is already included in their list of Invasive Alien Species of Union concern because this insect is wiping out the bee population in some territories and had caused people to be hospitalized due to anaphylactic shock that caused by the sting of this insect. Further, the insect was unintentionally brought to Europe when boxes of pottery with hornets nests arrived in France in 2004 and in 2009, nests where spotted in Bordeaux then the insect invaded neighboring countries like Spain; Portugal; Italy; and even reached United Kingdom and Ireland.
