LSU AgCenter experts have been getting inquiries from the public about Asian giant hornets, but it’s not believed the insects have spread to Louisiana.
“We’ve been getting a lot of phone calls and emails,” said AgCenter public health entomologist Kristen Healy.
Some calls have been made by people who suspect they have seen one of the hornets that turn out to be other insects.
“There are a lot of things that look like them,” Healy said.
