The Asian long-horned beetle is an insect native to China, Korea and Japan (5). It is widely known to attack many types of trees and destroy trees. in rural, urban and suburban communities(³). We didn't want this beetle to invade North America, but thanks to transportation(¹), this beetle found its way here and began feeding on our natural hardwoods(4). If we don't stop the Asian long-horned beetle, we won't see any fall color on the leaves of the trees(²). Fortunately, there are some ways to control the Asian long-horned beetle, so we can still combat this pest. The Asian long-horned beetle, also known as the “Starry Sky Beetle” and “Anoplophora Glabripennis” as its Latin name (¹), native to China, Korea and Japan (5). They are large insects measuring 20 to 35 mm in length and 7 to 12 mm in width. It is shiny black (¹) with six legs, long black and white striped antennae, metallic blue feet (³) and up to 20 white spots on its back (¹). In China, they live 1 to 2 years depending on location and are active from early summer to mid-autumn(4). They lay eggs approximately 5 to 7 mm long in the bark of trees and are fully developed after 1 to 2 weeks (if laid in summer) or several months (if laid in fall) (²) . The Asian long-horned beetle is a borer (it loves to feed and drill into wood) and phyllophagous (it likes to feed on Phloem) and it feeds on many trees in its region (4). Soon, through the transport of wooden pallets, crates or packaging materials used for shipping(¹), the Asian long-horned beetle found its way across parts of North America (New York, New Jersey, Chicago, Vaughan and Toronto) and began feeding on our forest ecosystems(4).Asian beets......middle of paper......leaf decay, egg-laying sites, seeps sap and sawdust(¹). Other ways to control the beetle include not removing any restricted woody material from regulated areas, reporting any suspected sightings of adult Asian long-horned beetles or infested trees, and learning to recognize what Asian long-horned beetles and trees look like infested (²). The Asian long-horned beetle is a major pest of our ecosystems. It feeds on deciduous trees, destroys tourism, poses a physical danger to pedestrians and much more(³). But all hope is not lost because there are ways to combat Asian long-horned beetles, for example by burning or shredding infected trees(¹). The best part is that since we did a good job taking action against these beetles, they were eradicated across Ontario on April 5, 2013(²)! So now we have to be very careful and make sure that this pest never comes back here.!
