Who else got this video for a class assignment while we’re out bc of the corona
Keyri Villatoro me
yup
@Jackson Helland yeah thats what im doing in science
Yep. I did
@Jackson Helland YES.
How is the fungus working out to take care of these abominations?
I've got an older piece of blue beech, aka muscle wood and it's got similar markings to the ones described that are left from these pests.
It's the Bronze Birch Borer, it's almost identical to the EAB besides it's color. Fortunately it's a native pest so hornbeams have some resistance.
Great video. The importance of checks and balance. The evolution of a species within its own natural environment would not have done this type of damage. It is too bad modern society is so careless with the way we handle things especially done at a large scale at this day and age. Do not blame the insect. Humans demand products from overseas. The insects hitched a ride on a cargo crate. These insects would not have been capable of getting here all by itself.

In the U.K. we don’t have this, but we have ash dieback which is almost as bad
Can i use this footage please?
Captions?
Why do they only feed on Ash (Fraxinus)? I have been looking for the answer to this question all night and none of the articles I have seen answer this.
I assume it is because of some property in the ash wood that makes it more desirable for the insects. Perhaps the bark offers better insulation properties I during cold winters, or maybe it has more water in the bark than other trees that allows the larvae to survive. Or maybe other trees are toxic to the bug? Does anybody know?
What kind of fungus
Do they attack beech too, or only ash?
I think only ash, that's why they are called Emerald "Ash" Borer.
where can I get that green trap? and does that stretchwrap work too? I cant lose my tree
idk
any one here from ms.glick
Just found in Winnipeg on November 30th and we have 350,000 ash trees. 30% of our canopy will be lost. This is so horrible.
We found this insect outside our school campus and treat it as a pet. It is harmless and cute though. And after 3 days, it finally flew.
And why didn't you kill it?
Bruh you should have just killed it. Now the bug will reproduce and start killing even more trees.
Harmless? Cute? This makes me question if you even watched the video.
Well we lost this battle
these things killed my favorite tree :(
They are wiping out all of the trees in my childhood home. Very sad. I'm trying to treat them with insecticide but I don't know how sustainable or healthy that is for the environment. As much as I hate it, I think felling all of the trees is a healthier solution.
