Asian long-horned beetle

forests has emerged in the form of two invasive species of beetles, the Asian Longhorned Beetle and the Emerald Ash Borer. Both beetles are major pests of widespread forest and neighborhood trees, and if left unchecked, have the potential to completely change the character of our forests. Although not as widely known as some higher-profile environmental issues, invasive species like the Asian Longhorned Beetle and the Emerald Ash Borer are nevertheless one of the greatest problems facing the environment today, and is a problem that is likely to grow still greater in the future. The Asian Longhorned Beetle was the first to arrive in North America. Native to eastern Asia, it is an attractive beetle up to one and a half inches long, glossy black with white spots and speckles, and with long antennae banded white and black (Childs et al.). Unusually for a forest pest, it attacks a wide variety of healthy hardwood trees, including…

Few studies on the biology and life cycle of bostrichid beetles have been done with mostly concentrating on economically important species (Liu et al., 2008). Typically, the bostrichid beetle undergoes complete metamorphosis with four life stages – egg, larva, pupa and adult. Eggs are laid in crack and cervices of sawn lumber or logs. Larva hatch and bore ¼ inch into the wood. Tunnels are filled with tightly packed, fine sawdust-like materials. Pupation happens at the end of the tunnel. Once…

These beetles cause costly damage, both environmentally and ecologically. The Asian longhorn beetle (anoplophora glabripennis), the Two Spotted Oak Buprestid…

which he sets up the plots. He changed where each one was located. The dependent variable is how the trees and species migrated over time, as well as the effects on the wildlife and species in all thirteen of the plots. 9.
