Asian Longhorned Beetle |
|
 |
|
The invasive Asian longhorned beetle (ALB), Anoplophora glabripennis (Motschulsky), grows and reproduces within healthy and stressed deciduous hardwood tree species, such as maple, birch, horse chestnut, poplar, willow, elm, and ash. The beetle eventually kills the host tree. The ALB hitchhiked to the United States nestled deep within hardwoods cut into crates and pallets and used to import goods from Asian countries. There are currently ALB infestations being eradicated in New York, Massachusetts and New Jersey.
