The Asian longhorned beetle is a species of beetle, originally native to eastern China and Korea, that has become a serious pest of hardwood trees in North America and parts of Eurasia. Its larvae tunnel throughout susceptible hardwood hosts, weakening and ultimately killing the trees. The invasive insect is hard to control and has prompted costly, long-term eradication campaigns and the removal of tens of thousands of trees in areas outside its native range.
