Invasive hornet spotted in US for first time, officials warn

 The Georgia Department of Agriculture warned people in the state to be on the lookout for an invasive insect.

Officials confirmed during a news conference Tuesday the detection of a living yellow-legged hornet for the first time in the United States, in Savannah, Georgia.

A beekeeper saw two of them and immediately reported it earlier this month, the department said.
