When were Asian Long-Horned Beetle Found

Discovered in the US in 1996 coming from China in untreated wooden packing crates and wooden pallets

Where are Asian Long-Horned Beetle a threat to

Threats NYC and foresters worry that if they spread, it could devastate much of hardwood forests in Eastern US

What do Asian-Long Horned Beetles Attack

Many species of hardwood trees. Females chew the bark to lay their eggs. When the eggs hatch, the larvae tunnel into the tree and eat damaged tissue which can kill the tree

What is the Asian-Long Horned Beetles Habitat

In the host tree since it's safe from predators

What are ways to control the Asian-Long Horned Beetle

Remove the infested trees and destroying them by burning or chipping. Quarantines

How much damage have Hemlock Woolly Adelgid's done

Killed 80% of hemlock trees in Shenandoah as they feed off the sap of hemlock needles, causing them to fall off. Without needles, the tree starves to death within a few years. Dead trees make the plants and animals dependant on the tree are at risk

When were the Hemlock Woolly Adelgid's done

Found from Japan and China as it was accidentally brought to western USA in 1924 on imported wood where the western hemlocks had natural resistance to the insect

What are Emerald Ash Borer's

A small, metallic green beetle that devastates North America's ash trees

Where did Emerald Ash Borer's come from

China and Eastern Asia, most likely came hidden in wooden crates or pallets used to ship goods. Spread in 13 US States and parts of Canada

What damage have Emerald Ash Borer's done

Killed 30million trees just in Michigan. Nibble on ash leaves causing little damage. The larvae tunnel into the tree and feed on it, killing the tree. Larvae are hidden, so it's difficult to tell if a tree is infested

What enemies do the Emerald Ash Borer have

Woodpeckers. Have not stopped the spread since they hide in the trees. Quarentines
