About this app

Help track the spread of the Asian hornet (Vespa velutina).

This app allows anyone to quickly report sightings of the invasive Asian hornet and contribute to a growing citizen science dataset. Early detection helps researchers, beekeepers, and environmental organizations better understand and respond to the spread of this species.

Report sightings in seconds

When you spot a suspected Asian hornet, simply:

• take a photo
• record the location
• submit the sighting

Your report contributes to a shared dataset used to monitor the spread of Vespa velutina.

AI-assisted identification

Before submitting a report, the image can be analyzed directly on your device using machine learning. This helps estimate whether the insect may be an Asian hornet and improves the quality of reported sightings.

Explore sightings on the map

View reported sightings on an interactive map and see how the Asian hornet is spreading across regions. This information helps researchers, authorities, and the public gain a better understanding of the current situation.

Privacy first

Reports can be submitted without creating an account.
The app does not require personal information such as name or email address.
