This presentation will focus primarily on invasive insect species that may be encountered while working in the tree care industry. It will give a brief refresher on some oldies but will introduce a few new ones that may not be very well known but should be on the radars of anyone working with natural resources both urban and rural. We will briefly discuss history, biology but will focus on how to id these pests as well on how to report them.
