What is an "Asian longhorned beetle"?
An Asian longhorned beetle is an invasive species native to East Asia. It has a striking appearance with its black body, white spots, and long antennae. This beetle is a destructive pest that attacks hardwood trees, including maple, birch, poplar, and willow. It poses a significant threat to forests and urban trees, as it tunnels into the wood, weakening the tree's structure and ultimately leading to its decline or death. Efforts are underway to control and eradicate populations of this destructive beetle to protect vulnerable tree species.
