These are bad…
March 21st, 2007 by AndyA public service announcement from Andy: Most people have probably heard about the invading Asian Longhorn Beetle in North America by now, but not nearly enough of them know what it looks like. Here you go:
This beetle is bad. It could very possibly destroy the entire hardwood forest of Eastern North America. If you find one, catch it and bring it to a university/publics work place/museum/place where you find people who will do something about it. I realize cutting down many of the GTAs trees wasn’t a popular option, but it seems to have worked. This bastard probably isnt around anymore. All the more reason why, if you see this little monster, tell someone. Thank you.

As I recall they have a bunch of giant billboards letting people know about these guys around the outskirts of Toronto (which is I guess where they were spotted before). I’m glad to hear that it’s done some good. And thanks for the reminder.
Are they still active elsewhere in North America?
