I did not know that worms were invasive and potentially destructive, but I'm not surprised. The south-western US lost maybe as much as 75% of its pinon trees not long ago to a bark beetle. The beetle came from Asia in timber imports and took up residence in our trees. Then came a several year drought, which happens from time to time in deserts, and the weakened trees were consumed by their occupants. Just one more of many ways we've screwed things up.

Yep! Stuff like this is common place now!
Are you referring to the Ash Borer, or...?
I don't know. Everyone just calls it a bark beetle.
