Asian Longhorned Beetle Won't Die:
35,000 Trees Leveled and Counting
Worcester Magazine reported that Worcester has the largest infestation of
Asian Longhorn Beetle on the continent. In just seven years, 35,000 trees have
been destroyed in an effort to impose a quarantine zone 110 square miles in
size.
“We're on the edge of a forest that goes all the way up through Vermont, goes
all the way up to the Arctic,” said Ruth Seward, Program Coordinator for the
Worcester Tree Initiative, as quoted by Worcester Magazine.
If the beetle is not stopped, presumably it could remove whole species of trees
from New England forests, including the economically valuable Sugar Maple.
So far the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation
(DCR) and the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) have spent
$146 million trying to contain the outbreak.
As of September 2014, it was believed that the quarantine belt was fully clear-
cut. Worcester and surroundings should now be ecologically isolated, at least
as far as the beetle is concerned.
It remains imperative that no one move firewood out of the quarantine area,
where the beetles remain alive and active.
Almost a hundred people are now being employed by DCR and USDA to
survey trees within the quarantine zone. All infected trees and surrounding host
trees must be destroyed. The intent is to starve the beetle population.
First Reported by Ford's Hometown Services
According to Wikipedia, the beetle first appeared in Worcester in 1997, when it
was discovered by "a Worcester exterminator." That exterminator was Ford's
Hometown Services. We called Ford's for the story.
"[Back in 1997] somebody right in the area had brought it in," Geoff Ford said.
"I couldn't find it in any local books so I named it a Tiger Beetle." Ford would
have needed a foreign book to identify it, as the beetle came from China.
The Tiger Beetle became a part of Ford's "Bug Club," a large collection of live
insects that Ford takes on tour to schools and birthday parties.
Then in 2008, when the beetle was recognized as an ecological menace, the
Worcester Telegram published a picture on its front page. Ford recognized the
picture.
"I said, 'I think I have that in my collection.' ", Ford said.
He brought his specimen to a community meeting at Quinsagmond Community
College. There he showed it to city officials, who took the beetle and sent it to
Washington DC for confirmation at the USDA. That official confirmation ignited
the battle of the last seven years.
Ford's, famous for their highway billboards, ran this billboard when the beetle
was first confirmed.
Thanks to Ford and his deep passion for his work, we have been made aware of the long tenure this beetle has
had in our forests.
Without this knowledge we might not taken the drastic steps needed to contain the infestation.

article by Worcester Magazine.
The life cycle of the deer tick (family Ixodidae) will last two years. The eggs, totaling
approximately 3,000, are laid in the spring. The larvae, practically invisible to the
naked eye, emerge in several weeks feeding on white-footed deer mice, voles,
chipmunks and other small animals. They drop off their host, go into a resting or
pupa stage and emerge the following spring as a molting nymph. They again feed on
larger animals, including humans, until they reach the adult stage that fall season.
They remain on their host fully engorged until spring, drop off, lay eggs and so, the
cycle begins again.
The deer tick is the main carrier of Lyme disease, which is a bacterial infection. The
symptoms are: a ring shaped bull’s eye rash appearing within the first 4-20 days,
fever, chills, headache, stiffness in joints and fatigue are all symptoms which may
mimic the symptoms of arthritis and the flu.
Lyme disease is preventable by taking the right precautions. Where long sleeves and
pants and spray your clothing with an appropriate insect repellent. If an attached tick
is found, use tweezers to grasp the tick firmly and pull gently, otherwise body parts
will remain in the skin causing infection.

Closeup of Anoplophora glabripennis
The Asian long-horned beetle (Anoplophora glabripennis), also known as the starry sky, sky
beetle, or ALB, is a species native to eastern China, Japan, and Korea. This species has now
been accidentally introduced into the United States, where it was first discovered in 1996,[1] as
well as Canada, Trinidad, 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.

Description[edit]
Taxonomy and morphology[edit]
Common names for Anoplophora glabripennis in Asia are the starry sky beetle, basicosta whitespotted longicorn beetle, or smooth shoulder-longicorn, and it is called the Asian long-horned
beetle in North America.[2]
Adult A. glabripennis are very large insects with bodies ranging from 1 to 1.5 inches (2.5–4 cm)
in length and antennae which can be as long as four inches (10 cm).[2] They are shiny black with
about 20 white spots on each wing cover and long antennae conspicuously banded black and
white. These beetles can fly, but generally only for short distances, which is a common limitation
for Cerambycidae of their size and weight. The upper sections of the legs of the adults are
whitish-blue. Anoplophora glabripennis can be distinguished from related species by the
markings on the wing covers and the pattern of the antennae.
Life cycle[edit]
Asian long-horned beetle larvae do not pupate before they reach a critical weight. Accordingly,
they may overwinter either as larvae or as pupae, and depending on the weather they generally
take about one to two years to complete their life cycles. In extreme cases they might take some
three years. In their overwintering phase they are inactive, a dormant condition known as
diapause. They resume their life cycle in the following summer.[3] Larvae first create a feeding
gallery in the cambial region and later an apparently oval-shaped tunnel in the sapwood and
heartwood. However, the oval cross-section might be largely illusory, caused by the angle of
cutting through the tunnel; The emergence holes are normal to the wood surface, and look
completely round. Larvae expel frass from their tunnels near the original oviposition site. Most
individuals overwinter as larvae. Pupation occurs at the end of the larval tunnel usually in late
spring and early summer.[3]
Asian long-horned beetle - Kyle Ramirez
Adult longevity and fecundity are influenced by conditions such as the larval host plant and
temperature. Anoplophora glabripennis adult females undergo a period of obligatory maturation
feeding after emergence. On emergence, females can copulate, although their ovaries are
immature and feeding is necessary for ovarian maturation.
Laboratory studies have estimated the female maturation period lasts 9–15 days.[4]
Adult males have mature spermatozoa before emergence, and feeding is necessary only to
sustain their normal activity (Li & Liu, 1997).[5] Asian long-horned beetle larvae and adults chew
and excavate wood with mandibles of modest size, but great strength. This too is characteristic of
the family Cerambycidae. Adults, especially males, display long antennae used to sense the sex
pheromones of potential mates. The conspicuous antennae probably act as aposematic signals
to predators and in sexual rivalry as well. Accordingly the main targets for predation by birds for
example, are the larvae.
Life expectancy[edit]
In the wild, Asian long-horned beetles require between one and three years to reach maturity.
The adult lifespan is about 50 days for males and 66 days for females. The lifespan of
Anoplophora glabripennis in captivity is not known.[citation needed]
Ecology[edit]
Habitat[edit]
In its native range, ALB infests trees primarily in the genera Acer (Sapindaceae, Maple),
Populus (Salicaceae), Salix (Salicaceae, Willow), and Ulmus (Ulmaceae, Elm). In the United
States, ALB has completed development on species of these genera and also Aesculus
(Sapindaceae), Albizia (Fabaceae), Betula (Betulaceae), Cercidiphyllum (Cercidiphyllaceae),
Fraxinus (Oleaceae), Platanus (Platanaceae), and Sorbus (Rosaceae). Acer is the most
commonly infested tree genus in the United States, followed by Ulmus and Salix. In Canada,
complete development has been confirmed only on Acer, Betula, Populus, and Salix, although
oviposition has occurred on other tree genera. Acer is the most commonly infested tree genus in
Canada. In Europe, complete development has been recorded on Acer, Aesculus, Alnus
(Betulaceae), Betula, Carpinus (Betulaceae), Fagus (Fagaceae), Fraxinus, Platanus, Populus,
Prunus, Salix, and Sorbus. The top five host genera infested in Europe, in decreasing order, are
Acer, Betula, Salix, Aesculus, and Populus. Not all Populus species are equally susceptible to
ALB attack. For example, in China, Populus species in sections Aigeiros and Tacamahaca are
generally more susceptible to ALB than species in section Populus (=sect. Leuce).[3]
Dispersal[edit]
Although individuals do not typically disperse very far, some may travel as far as a kilometer or
two in a season in search of new host trees.[5]
Feeding behavior[edit]
Adult Anoplophora glabripennis feed on leaves, twigs, and other plant matter. In their native
habitat larvae of Anoplophora glabripennis feed on the healthy bark, phloem, and xylem of more
than 24 species of hardwood trees. This causes the death of many trees. Also, it is extremely hard
to kill off ALB larvae, another reason for this beetle's success.
Reproduction[edit]
Although the Asian long-horned beetle can fly for unbroken distances of 400 yards (370 m) or
more in search of a host tree, they tend to lay eggs in the same tree from which they emerged as
adults, migrating only when population density becomes too high. During the summer months, a
mated adult ALB female chews some 35 to 90 individual depressions into the host tree's bark
and lays an egg in each of the pits. The white, apodous eruciform larvae hatch out in 10–15
days.
The larvae are straight, with their front ends somewhat broader than the rest of the body. This is
characteristic of many Cerambycid larvae, and so is the fact that instead of using legs to navigate
their tunnels, they have fleshy pads on their segments. They press the pads against the tunnels
walls for grip as they stretch or contract their bodies.[6]
As they eat, they tunnel into the tree's phloem and cambium layers beneath the tree bark. After
several months, they tunnel deeper into the tree's heartwood where they mature into pupae. The
total process from egg to pupation takes some 10–22 months, depending on the season, the
weather, and the quality of the food supplied by the tree. Generally speaking, the phloem and
cambium are the best food sources, but more exposed to predators such as woodpeckers, and a
lot wetter. Heartwood and even sapwood are less nutritious, but more secure, so that is where the
mature larva digs its pupation chamber.[7] They do not pupate before they have gained the
necessary mass to support their adult activities and functions.
The pupal stage may last several months if pupation occurred at the start of the cold season,
causing the pupa to go into diapause. The adults emerge from the pupae near the surface of the
tree when the climate outside causes them to break diapause. They emerge as early as May and
as late as October or November, depending on climate. The full-grown adult ALBs emerge
through circular exit holes that typically measure 10–15 mm in diameter but can range from 6 to
20 mm.[5]
Damage[edit]
Asian long-horned beetle gallery development and exit holes weaken the integrity of infested
trees and can eventually result in death of severely infested trees. Larvae are considered to be the
most dangerous because they tunnel in the cambial region of wood. Larvae feeding reduces
wood quality. After a tree has been occupied by generations of the beetles, larval feeding can
disrupt the tree's vascular tissues, encourage fungal growth, and cause structural weakness, any
of which might kill the tree. Adult Asian long-horned beetles are considered to be of minor
importance since they feed on twigs, foliage and occasionally on fruit-bearing trees. Asian longhorned beetle attack both healthy and stressed trees, of any size from potted to mature trees.
The Asian long-horned beetle is now one of the most destructive non-native insects in the United
States; it and other wood-boring pests cause an estimated $3.5 billion in annual damages in the
United States.[8]
Detection of infestation[edit]
Mature beetles emerge from trees beginning in late May and lasting through October (Northern
hemisphere) with a frequency peaking in July. Tree infestation can be detected by looking for
exit holes 3/8 to 3/4 inches in diameter (1.5–2 cm) often in the larger branches of the crowns of
infested trees. Sometimes sap can be seen oozing from the exit holes with coarse sawdust or
"frass" in evidence on the ground or lower branches. Dead and dying tree limbs or branches and
yellowing leaves when there has been no drought also signal ALB infestation. United States
Department of Agriculture (USDA) research indicates this beetle can survive and reproduce in
most sections of the country where suitable host trees exist.
As an invasive species[edit]
Adult ALBs can be seen from late spring to fall, depending on the climate. The ALB was first
discovered in the United States in 1996 in the Greenpoint section of Brooklyn. Shortly after,
another infestation was detected in Amityville on Long Island. Since then infestations have
been found in the Islip area of Long Island, in Queens, and in Manhattan. In fact, several
infested trees were removed around Central Park. The ALB was discovered in Chicago in
1998. An ALB infestation was detected in Hudson County, New Jersey in 2002 and in the
Central New Jersey Middlesex and Union Counties in 2004. In 2008 a sizeable infestation
resulting in the removal of more than 28,000 trees was discovered in Worcester,
Massachusetts.[9] Ongoing inspection of host trees within the 98 sq mi (250 km2) quarantine area
of Worcester county[10] has revealed that, since 2008, over 19,000 trees were infested;[11] there is
some evidence that the infestation may date back as far as 1997.[12] On July 5, 2010, six infested
trees were found on the grounds of the Faulkner Hospital in the Jamaica Plain neighborhood of
Boston, Massachusetts,[13] which is across the street from the Arnold Arboretum, where an
infestation is poised to devastate the oldest arboretum in America. As of 2011, the ALB is
considered a threat to the forestry industry in Ohio and steps are being taken to eradicate it.
Alert workers have uncovered and reported ALBs in warehouses in CA, FL, IL, IN, MA, MI,
NC, NJ, NY, OH, PA, SC, TX, WA, and WI in the United States, and in the Greater Toronto
Area in Ontario, Canada.[14] After an aggressive containment program and with the last
confirmed sighting in 2007, Canada declared itself free of the beetle on April 5, 2013 and lifted
restrictions on the movement of tree materials.[15]
The beetle has also invaded Britain, Austria and Germany.
Background[edit]
The ALB was believed to have arrived in New York City in the 1980s in wood packing
material. According to Victor Mastro, the Director of Animal and Plant Health Inspection
Service Laboratory on Cape Cod, Massachusetts, the center of the infection zone was a
warehouse which imported plumbing supplies from China (Smith, 2003). The infestations in
Hudson County, New Jersey and on Long Island are believed to have spread from the Brooklyn
point of entry. The infestations in Chicago and central New Jersey are believed to have come
from a separate point of entry. The Chicago infestations were eventually discovered to be
surrounding three warehouse locations initially Ravenswood area. The other two areas were
close to ports where China's crates and packages could enter, Addison which is 5 miles away
from the O'Hare International Airport and Summit which is 15 miles southwest of downtown
Chicago.
The Greenpoint infestation was first reported by Ingram Carner of Greenpoint on a Saturday in
August 1996 and identified by Cornell University entomologist Richard Hoebeke on August 19.
The Amityville infestation was brought, inadvertently, from Brooklyn by the Mike Ryan Tree
Services, a tree pruning company, which performs work for the NYNEX telephone company.[16]
Range in North America[edit]
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency is spearheading efforts to fight the ALB infestation in the
Greater Toronto Area.
In North America, the Asian longhorned beetle was first discovered in August 1996 in Brooklyn,
New York and has since been found in other areas of New York City, New Jersey,
Massachusetts, Illinois, and Ohio.[2][17][18][19][20] As of 2015, the beetle is believed to be eradicated in
some areas where it has been found:[2]




Illinois: Chicago
Massachusetts: Boston
New Jersey: Jersey City
New York: Islip, Manhattan, and Staten Island
It was first discovered in Canada in Toronto and Vaughan, Ontario.[21]
Range in Europe[edit]
Populations have also been found in European countries including Austria, Belgium, England,
France, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, The Netherlands, and the United Kingdom.[2][22]
Eradication efforts[edit]
Over 1,550 trees in Chicago have been cut down and destroyed to eradicate ALB from Chicago.
In New York, over 6,000 infested trees resulted in the removal of over 18,000 trees; New
Jersey's infestation of over 700 trees led to the removal and destruction of almost 23,000 trees,[23]
but infested trees continue to be discovered.[24] 28,000 trees have been removed in Worcester,
MA because of the nearly 20,000 trees confirmed to be infested with the Asian longhorned
beetle. The December 12, 2008 ice storm likely resulted in significant moving of infested
downed limbs because of homeowners clearing debris within the infestation following the
devastating ice storm. This has complicated the eradication effort. A Worcester exterminator has
had a beetle in his collection since 1997, and USDA APHIS PPQ has confirmed his finding,
meaning the beetle has been in Worcester for at least 13 years, giving it a very long time to move
about, especially since vehicles were often parked under infested trees, giving the beetles an
opportunity to drop onto cars and be transported elsewhere.
The US Federal government is trying to eradicate this species primarily for two reasons:


If it becomes established it could significantly impact natural forests and urban environment,
with an estimated death toll of 1.2 billion trees if it spread nationwide.[25]
Due to the current limited infestation size, it is believed that eradication efforts can be
successful.
The steps that have been taken to eliminate the ALB include:





Quarantines. Quarantines have been established around infested areas to prevent accidental
spread of ALB by people.
Infested trees cut and chipped. All infested trees are being removed and chipped in place. The
stumps of infested trees are ground to below the soil level. All tree removal is done by certified
tree care personnel to ensure that the process is completed properly. New York and Chicago
began this eradication process in 1997 with thousands of dollars in effort to complete the
project.
Insecticide treatments. Research is underway to determine the effectiveness of certain
insecticides such as imidacloprid against ALB. Insecticidal treatments have begun in New York
and Chicago in hopes of preventing and containing infestations. Chicago's program of
imidacloprid treatments for healthy trees of potential host species within a one-eighth to onehalf mile (200–800 m) radius of infested trees successfully removed Illinois from quarantine in
August 2006. As of December 2006, New Jersey's policy was to cut down all healthy trees of the
potential host species within a one-eighth to one-quarter mile (200–400 m) radius of infested
trees.
Extensive surveys. All host trees on public and private property located within an established
distance from an infested area are surveyed by trained personnel. Infested areas are resurveyed at least once per year for 3–5 years after the last beetle or infested tree is found.
Shipping restrictions. The use of Solid Wood Packing Materials (SWPM) for maritime shipping
is regulated for adequate treatment methods at certain ports.[26][27]
US customs regulations were changed on September 18, 1998 (effective December 17, 1998) to
require wooden packing materials from China be chemically treated or kiln-dried to prevent
further infestations of the Asian long-horned beetle from arriving. Pest inspection, new rules, and
public awareness are the key steps to prevention of the spread of the Asian long-horned beetle.
Trees that are being planted to replace host trees include: Serviceberry or Shadbush, Ironwood,
Southern catalpa, Turkish filbert, Ginkgo, Honey locust, Kentucky coffeetree, Tuliptree,
Dawn redwood, White oak, Swamp white oak, Bur oak, English oak, Japanese lilac, Bald
cypress, Basswood, and Little-leaf Linden.
In August of 2011, the Asian longhorned beetle was declared eradicated from Islip, New York.[28]
In March of 2013, the Asian longhorned beetle was declared eradicated from the state of New
Jersey.
In April of 2013 the Government of Canada announced that the Asian long-horned beetle was
eradicated from Canada. It had last been seen in 2007.[29]
In May of 2013, the Asian longhorned beetle was declared eradicated from the boroughs of
Manhattan and Staten Island in New York.
Possible outcome from infestation[edit]
Asian long-horned beetles are detrimental to any ecosystem they inhabit. In China,
approximately 40% of poplar plantations have been damaged, meaning the wood is good only
for packing material. In the Ningxia Province of China, more than 50 million trees were
destroyed over a three-year period because of the beetles. These beetles have the ability to
significantly alter the composition of North American hardwood forests. It is estimated that
nearly one-third of all trees would have to be destroyed in the United States if Anoplophora
glabripennis were to spread throughout the country. The potential for widespread distribution in
North America and the attack of a wide range of host trees is also very possible.
