Encyclopedia: Beetle Beetles are generally characterised by a particularly hard exoskeleton, and the hard wing-cases ( elytra) which tend to cover the hind part of the body and protect the second wings, the alae. In these beetles the testes are tubular and the first abdominal sternum (a plate of the exoskeleton) is divided by the hind coxae (the basal joints of the beetle's legs). The larva of a beetle is often called a grub and represents the principal feeding stage of the life-cycle. www.nationmaster.com /encyclopedia/Beetle

Citrus long-horned beetle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Citrus Long-horned beetle was first discovered in the U.S. in April 1999, when a single beetle was found in a nursery greenhouse in Athens, Georgia on certain bonsai trees imported from China. The Citrus Long-horned beetle ( Anoplophora chinensis) is a Long-horned beetle native to China and Korea, where it is considered a serious pest. After the beetle larvae hatches, it chews into the tree, forming a tunnel that is then used as a place for beetle pupation (the process of growing from larvae to adult). en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Citrus_Long-horned_beetle

The Probert Encyclopaedia - Animals And Plants (F-G) They are characterized by long and slender legs, the thighs of the hind legs are large and adapted for leaping; by large and delicate wings and by the wing covers extending far beyond the extremity of the abdomen. They have shrubby stems with tufts of long grass-like wiry foliage, from the centre of which arises the tall flower-stalks which sometimes reach a height of 5 meters and bear dense cylindrical spikes of blossom at their summit. The goliath-beetles are beetles of the genus Goliathus which are native to Africa and South America and are so named on account of their remarkable large size which can reach 10cm. www.galgani.it /free_encyclopedia/B4.HTM

Washington State Department of Natural Resources: Beetle populations have also increased to epidemic levels south and west of Yakima where years of repeated defoliation by western spruce budworm and drought have weakened host trees. A truly impressive spruce beetle outbreak is centered on Tiffany Mountain north of the Methow valley on the Okanogan National Forest. Although down again from previous years, Douglas-fir beetles continue to kill large numbers of mature Douglas-fir in Spokane, Pend Oreille, and Stevens counties where tree breakage from the ice storm of 1997-98 followed by droughty conditions have kept beetle populations high. www.dnr.wa.gov /htdocs/rp/forhealth/issues/2002issues.htm

Forest Insect and Disease Highlights -- 2001 Washington Mountain pine beetle activity increased along the east slopes of the North Cascades in association with overstocked stands of mature lodgepole pine. Beetle populations have been at outbreak numbers in that area since the ice storms of 1996-97 caused significant tree damage, providing large amounts of breeding material for the beetles. Douglas-fir beetle activity may go undetected where trees have been severely defoliated, because when the trees die there are few needles left to change color and be apparent to aerial observers. www.fs.fed.us /r6/nr/fid/health/2001highlights-wa.shtml

08-26-01 Citrus Longhorned Beetle The new pest was identified as citrus longhorned beetle on August 10, 2001. The beetle is crisply black and white, and large, about 1-1.5 inches long with distinctive long curved antennae stretching from the head and extending wider than the body. If you see one of these beetles, or are uncertain of the identification of a black and white beetle, scoop it into a jar or other container and then call (800) 443-6684. gardening.wsu.edu /column/08-26-01.htm

International Reporting Project - Fellows' Stories In studying the beetle's basic traits--which will help determine the best method to control the bug--scientists are finding the beetle might live longer, lay more eggs and fly farther than previously thought. In a study in a USDA lab in Connecticut using beetles that emerged from logs taken from Chicago last February, entomologist Melody Keena found female beetles laid an average of 68 eggs and lived an average of 73 days--both twice the averages listed in Chinese literature. In China last summer, USDA entomologist Michael Smith observed the beetle traveling more than one-fourth of a mile in a single flight and recorded it moving nearly nine-tenths of a mile over a summer--both distances that indicate infestations can spread quickly. www.journalismfellowships.org /stories/china/pf_china_fight.htm

Stop the Beetle Invasion - Responsible Trade - Sierra Club In a rare case when APHIS took decisive action and issued emergency rules to control the Asian long-horned beetle, Hong Kong immediately threatened to file a complaint with the WTO that could override the new safeguards. The Asian beetle is just one of the many exotic pest invaders that hitchhike into the country on imported goods. The US maple syrup industry could be wiped out because of the beetle’s special attraction to sugar maples. www.sierraclub.org /trade/environment/beetle.asp

Costly cargo The citrus beetle, which dines on everything from citrus trees to pecan, pear, hibiscus and Australian pine trees, could be especially devastating if it gained a foothold in the U.S. South. No one at Polar saw the beetle, but once outside the company's building, it quietly laid a couple dozen eggs inside the center of the tree — eggs that would create a new generation of larvae that would gnaw their way back out as adult beetles and move on to their next leafy victims. No one knows when that first beetle got out, or which tree was first to be infested, or whether there were other beetles attacking other trees in the area. www.lib.niu.edu /ipo/ii990631.html

Homeowners fight state over tree removal TUKWILA -- While contractors yesterday felled trees where arborists believe the citrus long-horned beetle could be hiding, the state sought warrants for four properties where owners have refused to allow workers to enter. The beetle, which attacks and eventually kills a long list of hardwood trees, is closely related to the Asian long-horned beetle. A nearby nursery last fall discovered the dreaded beetle in a shipment of quarantined bonsais. seattlepi.nwsource.com /local/78670_trees16.shtml

ladybird beetle --  Encyclopædia Britannica Ladybird beetles are hemispheric in shape and are usually 8 to 10 mm (0.3 to 0.4 inch) long. All citrus fruits are considered by botanists to be a special type of berry called a hesperidium. The Coleoptera are of great economic importance; many species harm plant crops, others are beneficial to man. Predators such as Carabidae (ground beetles) and Staphylinidae (rove beetles) help to control the populations of many insects by feeding on caterpillars and other immature insects (larvae), many soft-bodied adult insects, and insect eggs. www.britannica.com /eb/article?eu=47888&tocid=0

Tree-killing Asian beetle wreaks havoc in Toronto A related insect, the citrus long-horned beetle, was found in Washington state two years ago on bonsai maple trees from Asia, prompting the removal of more than 1,000 infested trees last summer. According to Bell, the Asian long-horned beetle must have arrived in Ontario on wood packing material prior to 1999, when Canada and the United States began requiring wood from Asia to be fumigated or treated with heat before entry to kill insects. Consequently, the beetle is easier to contain than the emerald ash borer, a faster-moving Asian insect that already has killed millions of ash trees in Michigan, Ontario, Maryland and Ohio. www.freep.com /features/living/dbeetl17_20030917.htm

Anoplophora glabripennis (Motschulsky) The asian longhorned beetle is a cerambycid beetle, a family that includes many economically important pests of hardwood trees. Larvae of the beetle tunnel throughout the tree resulting in limb breakage, dieback of the tree crown, and tree death. This non-native beetle poses a threat to urban and rural forests. tncweeds.ucdavis.edu /moredocs/anogla01.html

Asian Long-Horned Beetle The Asian Long-horned Beetle (Anaplophora Glabripennis) is one of the most destructive plant pests in China. Infested trees are identified by the presence of the beetle, by holes bored for exiting or egg laying, by sawdust at the base of the trees or on their branches, or by sap that sometimes drips from the trees. When mature, the beetles burrow out of the tree in late spring or summer, leaving a 3/8" hole where they exit.Adult beetles then feed on the bark and leaves of trees. www.agr.state.il.us /Environment/Pest/beetle.html

Citrus Longhorned Beetles These eight beetles were the first CLHB to be found out-of-doors in the U.S. The Citrus Longhorned Beetle is related to the Asian longhorned beetle that has caused the destruction of thousands of trees, huge quarantine areas, and eradication costs of $369 million in New York and Chicago. The citrus longhorned beetle is considered a serious orchard pest in Asia. The quarantine prohibits moving the beetle or any plant material that may be infested with the beetle out of the quarantine area. www.ci.tukwila.wa.us /beetle.htm

ag-04-23-99-01.txt USDA officials were cited as saying the citrus beetle attacks some of the same trees as the Asian long-horned beetle, plus citrus trees and a number of other trees common in the northern United States. Trees favored as food by the citrus long-horned beetle, Latin name Anoplophora chinensis, include poplar, willow, elm, locust, mulberry, orange, tangerine, pear, apple, ficus, sycamore, lychee, Japanese cedar, crepe myrtle, walnut, oak, catalpa and cherry.

Beetle - - educational resources The Asian longhorned beetle (ALB) is an exotic pest threatening a wide variety of hardwood trees in North America. The Asian Longhorned Beetle is a large wood-boring insect native to China and other Asian countries. Description The adult beetle is a broadly oval insect nearly 1/2-inch long and about 1/4-inch wide. animals.mongabay.com /madagascar/Beetle_-.html

ArboristSite.com - EAB news and info I think China is still stung from some of the export inspections we imposed after the long horned beetle made it's debut and is still balking at letting "researchers" in. Nearly 200 hectares of urban forest have been surveyed for evidence of the beetle, which is 2 to 3.5 centimetres long, with distinctive long black-and-white antennae, bluish legs and white spots on a shiny black back. Larvae of the tree-killing beetle live beneath the bark of ash trees, boring into its tissue until water and nutrients can no longer flow up into the branches and leaves. www.arboristsite.com /showthread.php?t=11825&page=2&pp=15

Welcome to 4yi.com Washington state forester Pat McElroy said a state plant inspector spotted a citrus long-horned beetle, a native of China, emerging from an im-ported maple tree at a nursery, giving the state an early warning that helped it keep the beetle under control. Non-native species such as the gypsy moth, the Asian long-horned beetle and the emerald ash borer have made their mark in America. In 1985, Hurricane Gloria carried the insect across the Long Island Sound to Connecticut, where it now has been reported in hemlocks in all 169 Connecticut towns, said state forester Don Smith. www.4yi.com /2003/090903FeastingForest/s1.htm

Scientists Warn That U.S. Is Under Assault by Invasive Species Last week, at a Target store in Gainesville, Florida, a wood-boring beetle was found in scented pinecones imported from India. These beetles have decimated pine tree populations in India. After the initial discovery, the beetle turned up in a potpourri product in a Florida Wal-Mart. www.ucsusa.org /news/press_release.cfm?newsID=373

State going to court to cut trees The larvae of the citrus long-horned beetle threaten to chew their way out of their hosts in early August. She remembers when a similar beetle, the Asian long-horned beetle, infested Chicago and New York in the mid-1990s. The beetles arrived at Bonsai Northwest nursery last August in a shipment of bonsai trees from South Korea. seattlepi.nwsource.com /local/79197_trees19.shtml

Invasive Species Weblog The state of Washington is serious about preventing the spread of the recently introduced Citrus long-horned beetle ( Anoplorophera glabripennis). As a result, all live ash tree and ash timber in the counties where the beetles were spotted are under quarantine. The Emerald ash borer ( Agrilus planipennis), a beetle native to Asia, has been found on Ash trees in Michigan, according to a Michigan Dept. of Agriculture press release. invasivespecies.blogspot.com /2002_07_21_invasivespecies_archive.html
