ALERT: Pest-of-the-Month

Jewel Beetles are often brilliantly colored, and always have some iridescence (usually on their undersides). Members of the family Buprestidae develop in plants, so they’re also called metallic wood borers or flat-head borers. The emerald ash borer, a non-native invasive species responsible for killing millions of ash trees in North America, is likely the best-known member of this beetle family. Learn more HERE
