**The Asian Giant Hornet has a new name.

The Entomological Society of America has adopted “Northern Giant Hornet” for the species.

While there was no official ESA common name until now, the hornet has been most often referred to as “Asian giant hornet” or “murder hornet” since its introduction in North America became widely known in 2020.

The Washington State Department of Agriculture is following ESA’s recommendation.
