The live specimen provided the first opportunity to track a hornet to their nest.
WSDA officials said they were seen attacking a wasp nest.
The process of setting live traps is expected to begin today.
WSDA will be attempting to trap a live Asian giant hornet in the area, tag it and track it back to its nest.
“This is encouraging because it means we know that the traps work, But it also means we have work to do.”
Citizen trappers are encouraged to put up and monitor traps into the fall.
The first confirmed sighting this year occurred in north Custer.
A live streamed talk about the Asian giant hornet is scheduled for 7pm this evening.
