Asian longhorn beetle eyed as threat to West Virginia forests
West Virginia state agriculture officials warn the destructive Asian longhorn beetle could threaten hardwoods more than gypsy moths. No colonies found yet, but a search is under way. Importers from China are asked to inspect packing cases and shipping crates for the inch long, glossy black beetle with white spots and long horn shaped antennae. The pest chews bark and causes leaf yellowing and loss.
