Oregon to set 'murder hornet' traps on Washington border
May 17 2021
Emma Eakins' work with the Oregon Department of Agriculture to trap the Asian giant hornet recently won an award.
Emma Eakins loves insects.
But there's one insect Eakins hopes to never see in Oregon — the Asian giant hornet, dubbed the "murder hornet" by researchers for its aggressive behavior and powerful sting.
Eakins is a Glencoe High School senior who recently started a project in partnership with the Oregon Department of Agriculture to help people build Asian giant hornet lures and traps.
"Asian giant hornets are not currently in Oregon," Eakins said, adding that if the invasive species does make it here, they will need to be eradicated.
