Invasive insects are a growing problem in New Jersey, with several species posing serious threats to the state's ecosystems. Some of the most common and problematic invasive insect species in NJ include Asian long-horned beetles, emerald ash borers, gypsy moths, and Japanese beetles.
Asian long-horned beetles are a particularly destructive invasive species, capable of causing extensive damage to hardwood trees. The beetles bore into the tree's trunk and branches, causing them to weaken and eventually die. Emerald ash borers are another destructive invasive insect species, which attacks and kills ash trees. Gypsy moths are a serious pest of both forestry and agriculture, as they feed on the leaves of trees and plants. Japanese beetles are a destructive invasive species that feeds on the foliage of both ornamental and crop plants.
Invasive insects can cause significant economic damage, as well as environmental damage. In order to protect New Jersey's ecosystem, it is important to be aware of the signs of these problematic invasive insect species and report any sightings to the proper authorities.
