EAB Slayer Squad

The emerald ash borer (EAB), Agrilus planipennis, is an exotic insect pest from Asia. The flattened, creamy white larval stage feeds below the bark and cuts off the living, water and nutrient conducting vessels causing tree death. Adults are small elongated oval beetles that are metallic green in color. This insect colonizes the top of ash trees (Fraxinus species) first, then moves down the tree.

Be afraid, Emerald Ash Borers. Be  very afraid.
