[CANUFNET] Relatively new pest may soon be in Canada

[ConsultingArborist via CANUFNET]

Hello everyone.

A relatively new tree pest is spreading in the northeastern US. For
Ontario, New York State and Pennsylvania are inconveniently close
sometimes. The Thousand Islands area, for example, already has a history of
being an entry point for pests into the country. This pretty critter of
Asian origin may well show up soon on this side of the border.
