Here's another Asian invader SOB that is on our doorstep.

Link is below.  This winged bastard is causing havoc in PA, now VA and soon to be MD.  We seem to be next.  Apparently it is so bad in PA that the USDA is granting PADA millions to eradicate it.   Amazing the amount of mean, nasty critters that come here from Asia.  Seems impossible to keep this and other vermin out of the USA.

  Alaska has the Spruce Bark Beatle in the 90s it was bad but has come back with a Vengence Areas I remember in the 60s had The most healthy Forests to now with Millions of Acres of Dead Trees if It was in size  NJ think of it as Not one Live Tree.  

 

But NJ went through The Gypsy Mouth destruction and survived  hopefully it will be stopped before it gets to NJ and Dies from our Pollution Had to add that part   

 

Forgot to add those trees are 100s of years old they do not regrow very fast if at all

The Asian Long Horned Beetle was a bad one in NJ ....killed a lot of Maples.....I was surprised the power the government had in eradicating this pest......they were able to enter private property at will   and remove any trees they deemed infected.....

[Bonefreak]

bad bug!!

 

You can rest assure some asshats and their kids will find some of these Mothra type bastuds while visiting granny Throckmorten in Georgia and bring em back to fairly land NJ to start the infestation that ends all forces of good!!!

No need to purposely bring them to NJ  they will Hitch Hike their way and thrive if conditions are right.  Like Waders with Felt Soles are bammed in some states Boats from the Great lakes are inspected for those Mussels The Snake Fish The Asian Carp Stink Bugs IMO the Russians are at the front of these Invasions

A huge way even these mosquitos are getting here is stagnant water on products being shipped here. Mainly tires. Tires fills with water during rain and contains different larvae and when it gets here any more rain that collects allows it to hatch. It is insane.

The only good thing about that bastard was that it couldn't fly far so it was easier to inspect all the trees in an area and the holes and sawdust it left were a clear giveaway.  This invader is a lot smaller and harder to spot and thus eradicate.  I assume some type of aerial spraying will be utilized to control it.  More reasons to make stuff here instead of shipping it in from Asia.

Darn it!  I saw Asian invaders and ran down stairs to get my AR-15.  When I came back up I saw the video was about some freakin moths!!
