PA braces for beetle invasion

Pennsylvania is preparing for an invasion.

From a state press release:

Agriculture Secretary Dennis Wolff today asked the public to help keep the Asian Longhorned Beetle from entering the state, saying the non-native, invasive wood-boring pest could severely harm Pennsylvania's hardwoods industry.

"The Asian Longhorned Beetle has not yet been found in Pennsylvania, but if allowed to enter it could pose a major threat to Pennsylvania's timber, maple syrup and tourism industries," said Wolff during an event at Ag Progress Days as part of August's Asian Longhorned Beetle Awareness Month.
