Our native longhorns supposedly only attack sick or dying trees. The ALB however appears to attack perfectly healthy trees.

How are these worse than native longhorn beetles, anyway? @_@

You have to cut down infested trees. Once infested there is nothing that can be done. That is why it is very important to stop them from spreading by eliminating host trees to save nearby ones. Whatever ones views, Liberal or Conservative, Hardwood forests in the Northeast are important for a lot of people, not to mention the the earth itself. .

this is retarted they are trying to save the trees from the beetle but when they find the beetle they chop down the tree and kill the tree

It was a huge sold black longhorn! O_O

this is so stupid they look for the bug so it doesnt destroy the trees and they find the bug by cuttingdown the tree.. pointless
