Emerald ash borer: Originally from China, the the emerald ash borer are plaguing News Hampshire. It was first discovered in Michigan in 2002, and has since killed millions of ash trees across the country. It is most often spread when people transport firewood, and the problem has become so widespread that national “Don't Move Firewood” campaigns have been enacted.
The larvae of the beetle species feeds just below the bark of ash tree, while the adults eat the leaves, both contributing to the tree's eventual death.
