Asian hornet
Hello everyone,
I share with you the photos of an Asian hornet taken under the microscope. Once "unfolded", it must be at least 3 cm long : I found him literally writhing on the floor. I went to get a Petri dish to take it and presto, under the microscope
The head with the 4x objective in reflected light: . . .

Re: Asian hornet
If my understanding is right, the antenna are from a female? I'm not familiar with this species but other related species can be identified by the number of segments in the antenna flagellum. This one looks to have 10, so I think it would be female.
Re: Asian hornet
Odds are in favor of it being female ( without my actually trying to identify it) as males are rarely seen except for mating purposes. This is true of most social insects such as bees and ants. The females do all the work..wy wife concurs!
Re: Asian hornet
Hello everyone and thank you very much for your visit
You are right because it does indeed appear to be a female (10 rings for a female and 11 rings for a male).
but also because of its size (more than 3 centimeters) which is larger than the males (2.5 centimeters).
Sincerely;
Franck
