Meet the Brown Spruce Longhorn Beetle
The Brown Spruce Longhorn Beetle (Tetroplium fuscum) is an invasive forest insect from Europe that infests spruce trees. Larvae consume the phloem that transports food to the roots. Once a tree is infested, its condition will continue to worsen, with heavier infestation each year until it dies completely. This process can take anywhere between one and five years.
