The Emerald Ash Borer

The emerald ash borer is an invasive species of beetle thought to have been brought to North America in the wood of shipping crates during the late 1900's.   

The larva of this tiny insect eats trails through the cambium layer of wood beneath the bark of ash trees, thus cutting off the nutrients and water supply within the tree. Millions of trees have been killed and the devastation is spreading.
