Get up close with one of nature's most destructive pests in our latest video: "Emerald Ash Borer Invasion: Red Oak Edition". The Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) is an invasive species that has caused significant damage to ash forests in North America.

In this short clip, we feature an EAB in an unlikely location, a Red Oak tree. Although their primary targets are ash trees, it's crucial to recognize these pests wherever they appear. Our high-definition, close-up footage allows you to see the distinct features of this beetle: from its bright emerald color to its streamlined body shape and size, which is approximately 1/2 inch long.

The Emerald Ash Borer is notorious for killing millions of ash trees since its first discovery in the United States in 2002. It burrows into the bark of ash trees, interrupting the tree's ability to transport water and nutrients, ultimately leading to the tree's demise. Their potential threat to other tree species is a cause of concern that scientists are currently exploring.
