Which of these insects would you find in the family vespidae? Hornet, honey bee, firefly or mantis1? Vespidae includes insects like yellow jackets and hornets.

下列哪种昆虫属于胡蜂科?大黄蜂,蜜蜂,萤火虫还是螳螂?胡蜂科包括黄蜂和大黄蜂等昆虫。

Next up, Asian Giant Murder Hornets. Sounds like an old school horror movie but these insects are real. And for the first time they've been spotted2 in the United States. Asian giants are the world's largest hornets. They can kill a person with multiple stings. That's why they're known as "murder hornets".

下面来关注亚洲巨型杀人大黄蜂。这听起来像一部老式恐怖片,但这些昆虫是真实存在的。这是美国首次发现这种昆虫。亚洲巨型大黄蜂是世界上最大的大黄蜂。它们身上的刺如果多次蛰人,可致人死亡。这就是它们被称为“杀人大黄蜂”的原因。

But they're a bigger threat to bees as a few hornets can take out a beehive in a matter of hours. Beekeepers in Washington State say they've seen piles of dead bees. Scientists don't know how Asian hornets got to Washington. Sometimes they hitch3 a ride on international cargo4. Sometimes humans intentionally5 bring them to other places. Officials in Washington say if you see a giant hornet, call the State Department of Agriculture and don't try to kill it yourself.

但这种大黄蜂对蜜蜂的威胁更大,因为几只大黄蜂在几小时内就能摧毁一个蜂巢。华盛顿州的养蜂人表示,他们看到了成堆的死蜜蜂。科学家不知道亚洲大黄蜂是如何抵达华盛顿的。它们有可能是搭乘国际货运而来。也有可能是有人故意将它们带到其他地方。华盛顿官员表示,如果你看到巨型大黄蜂,请致电华盛顿州农业部,不要尝试自已杀死它。
