Just a heads up for my fellow diggers and detectorists in Genesee CO. Today while detecting and also an area I dig nearby. Both areas have large areas of the Japanese Hornets. Read up on these things. If youre allergic (as Iam) carry the kit!...I happened not once, but twice into these things today in 2 different locations a few miles apart. I have never seen them here and got a up close and personal visit. Both times unloading my equipment and seeing what I fist thought were just large horseflies.
I didnt notice all the mounds of dirt and the large finger sized holes until they came zooming out. I observed them from the suv and they are supposed to be the largest hornets. All I can say is those things were upto 2 inches and flying mad. Quarter inch stingers and some deadly juice to boot. These were spotted in the Genesee twp and Richfield twp area. Surely has to be more. Please becareful.
