SUMMARY:Scouting for Asian Longhorned Beetle: Pest Alert
DESCRIPTION:Jennifer Forman-Orth, ALB Outreach Coordinator, Massachuse
 tts Department of Agricultural Resources, and Nichole Campbell, Pest S
 urvey Specialist, US Department of Agriculture\n\nThe Asian longhorned
  beetle (Anoplophora glabripennis (Motschulsky), \"ALB\") hitchhiked t
 o the United States in the solid wood packing material of shipping cra
 tes and pallets used to import goods from Asia. After a concerned citi
 zen reported seeing this invasive pest in Worcester, MA in August 2008
 , a large infestation was discovered, resulting in a 64 square mile qu
 arantine zone. The ALB grows and reproduces within healthy and stresse
 d deciduous hardwood tree species, such as maple, birch, horse chestnu
 t, poplar, willow, elm, and ash, eventually killing the host tree. Adu
 lts can be seen on infested trees from summer through frost, but are m
 ost visible in the Northeast from late July through August. Learn to s
 cout for this devastating pest with ALB specialists Jennifer Forman-Or
 th and Nichole Campbell.\n\nFREE, but advanced registration is appreci
 ated. Call to leave your name at 617-384-5277 or email adulted@arnarb.
