SO I AM CONFUSION. I TRIED "HORNET" AND YOU HAD TO HAVE US SPECIFICALLY SAY "ASIAN GIANT HORNET". Wouldn't the general term have been enough? Also, if your going to put "Hyacinth ____" then why do *we* have to type "hyacinth" again? It makes no sense.

There are many different types of hornets. The Asian Giant Hornet is special because it's SO FRICKING BIG.

I agree on the Hyacinth part though.
