Brief description

File:Aziatische-boktor.jpgAnoplophora glabripennis (Motschulsky, 1853) is native to eastern China, and Korea. The Asian long-horned beetle has now been accidentally introduced into the United States, where it was first discovered in 1996, as well as Canada, and several countries in Europe, including Austria, France, Germany, Italy and UK. This beetle is believed to have been spread from Asia in solid wood packaging material. Due to high tree mortality caused by larval feeding outside its native range, A. glabripennis can change both forest and urban ecosystems. In the United States, it can potentially destroy 30.3% of urban trees and cause $669 billion in economic loss. Early detection is used to manage infestations before they can spread (Wikipedia contributors 2020).
