DEC, OPRHP, and New York State Hemlock Initiative Announce Major Milestone in Hemlock Woolly Adelgid Biological Control “Hemlocks are a foundation species in New York’s forests, providing critical habitat for wildlife, supporting water quality, and stabilizing soil on steep slopes,” said Justin Perry, DEC’s Invasive Species and Ecosystem Health Bureau Chief. “Their conservation is a priority for New York State, and successful biological control efforts like this collection strengthen ongoing, science-based work to manage HWA through integrated pest management strategies.”

A predator beetle (Laricobius nigrinus) being released to control the invasive #HemlockWoollyAdelgid, is reproducing successfully in New York. Thousands were collected and redistributed to support long-term forest health.

An invasive ant with a potentially deadly sting is spreading in the US This invasive insect's sting has been reported to cause severe allergic reactions, like anaphylaxis, in people who are allergic to insect venom.

Yikes! I thought #fireants here in #Florida were tortuous.

"The insects, known as Asian needle ants, are venomous and deliver a painful sting that can cause severe allergic reactions, and their spread across the country worries experts."

Impacts of aqueous extracts of tree leaves on the aquatic snail Potamopyrgus antipodarum: exploring the roles of leaf habit and geographic origin - Aquatic Ecology The introduction of exotic tree species with dissimilar leaf habits or distinctive chemical composition into native communities may cause impacts on aquatic organisms, yet the relative influence of leaf habit and geographic origin on those impacts remain poorly understood. In this study, we experimentally explored the ecotoxicological effects of aqueous leaf litter extracts from 15 tree species differing in leaf habit (deciduous vs evergreen) and geographic origin (exotics vs natives in Spain) on the mortality and behavior of the aquatic snail Potamopyrgus antipodarum (Gray, 1843). Snails were exposed for 7 days to three leaf extract concentrations of each tree species. No mortality effects were observed at any concentration. In contrast, the behavioral responses of snails were negatively affected at the highest concentration, showing increased reaction time and reduced speed. These responses were species-specific and associated with leaf habit and chemical composition of extracts rather than geographic origin. Leaf extracts from deciduous trees caused a greater slowing down of snails than extracts from evergreen trees. Overall, our results indicate that leaf litter impacts on Potamopyrgus antiporadrum depend more on tree species identity and leaf habit than on native or exotic status, highlighting the importance of leaf traits when assessing ecotoxicological risks in freshwater ecosystems.

A mating pair of Scarlet Lilly Beetles. The male was slightly smaller than the female. Both have shiny red elytra and pronotum. Shiny black on all other body parts.

Oh joy the Scarlet Lily Beetle (Lilioceris lilii) found on my favourite Fritillary flower.

An invasive species in the UK, this pair caught in the act of making more beetles were humanely collected!
