| The
Emerald ash borer (Agrilus planipennis or Agrilus marcopoli) is a shiny
green beetle and an invasive species known for killing ash trees in the
United States. Its natural range is eastern Russia, northern China,
Japan, and Korea. It was accidentally imported to North America from
China in the 1990s and has since destroyed more than six million ash
trees in southeastern Michigan. It was discovered in June 2002 near
Detroit. It has since been found in other parts of the U.S.
and
Canada. Parts of Wisconsin have been infested since 2008.
