The Asian giant hornet is the world's largest hornet. It's native to temperate and tropical East Asia, South Asia, Mainland Southeast Asia, and parts of the Russian Far East. It's also recently been found in the Pacific Northwest. They prefer to live in low mountains and forests, while almost completely avoiding plains and high-altitude climates. It feeds primarily on larger insects, colonies of other eusocial insects, tree sap, and honey from honey bee colonies. The hornet has a body length of around 2", a wingspan around 3", and a stinger a 1⁄4 inch long, which injects a large amount of potent venom.
You can safely pull all the way off 195 onto Merritt Rd to grab this cache. Road can get pretty muddy when wet though. Don't let the cache sting you!
