They used the flags as tracking targets for cameras, usually mounted to drones, and then followed the murder hornets back to their hives. EXAMPLE VIDEO

This is great! I had no idea.

I don't want to be the guy on the internet that says "they should have done x" as though the scientists aren't experts in their field, but I do wonder why they didn't use a bright orange flag or something. The white flag worked well enough, though.

Because the orange didn't match their skin tone
