Asian Longhorned Beetle Information
 The Asian longhorned beetle (ALB), discovered in Worcester, MA in August 2008, is an invasive pest of hardwood trees, including maple, birch and elm. The spread of this pest would cause serious negative impacts to the maple sugaring, nursery, tourism and forest product industries, as well as to our state's forest, park and street trees. The Division of Crop and Pest Services, through the Cooperative Agricultural Pest Survey (CAPS) Program, provides public outreach and screening of potential Asian longhorned beetle sightings in order to prevent the further spread of this invasive pest.
