Field trip to gather some first VOC samples of the invasive Asian hornet (Vespa velutina).
Really productive day, thrilled to get the data in the lab later.

A field setup for volatile organic compound (VOC) sampling, showing multiple blue air sampling pumps connected via tubes to a plastic bag enclosing nest material and an Asian hornet. The equipment is arranged on a rough surface, surrounded by green vegetation.

Close-up of an Asian hornet inside a clear plastic bag used for sampling. The insect is positioned near a glass sampling probe, with nest material and tubing also visible. The setup is placed on a textured surface next to a green metal tripod.
