    In Ontario ist ein zerstörerisches, invasives Insekt aufgetaucht. In den USA wird den Leuten gesagt, sie sollen darauf herumtrampeln

      Not only stomp every single one of these you might happen upon, but also uproot and remove every single *Ailanthus altissima*, or “tree of heaven” (and first-year shrubs) you happen upon. They can either smell foul when cracking open a branch, or they can smell a bit like lemongrass.

      Tree of heaven shrubs and trees can [resemble native black walnut](https://www.outdoorguide.com/2010489/ree-of-heaven-black-walnut-how-tell-difference/) trees, but they are nothing like black walnut.

      Spotted lantern flies and the fast-growing, smothering tendency of the tree of heaven are species which co-exist natively in Asia. The presence of the tree of heaven, something now found throughout southern Ontario, tends to herald the eventual arrival of the spotted lantern fly.

      Contact your municipality’s 3-1-1 to remove confirmed tree of life shrubs and trees on public spaces. They’re a scourge.

      >Spotted lanternflies are native to China, India, Vietnam, and other regions of Southeast Asia. They were first discovered in the United States in 2014

      Thanks Asia. You brought us the Zebra mussel, the Asian Carp, and more.

      I miss when bugs were all cool. Now so many of them suck. Very rude of the bugs.

      Well we are Canadians, we will provide it with government funded food, shelter and healthcare and invite its extended family to join.

      Please be aware you’re not stomping MilkWeed Bugs which from a distance look alike with their red hue but are very much friendly local species

      I remember one time me and my ex went camping in Montreal, when we returned to Ontario we found out that they had a break out of ash borers, didn’t think much of it until I popped the trunk a day or two later and saw the 3 bags of firewood we brought back with us.

      She was wondering why I was having a spontaneous bin fire with all the wood we brought back, I told her and she panicked and started throwing more wood on the fire… we were real quite when a week later the ash borer was confirmed to be have found in our small town

      Prince Edward County in Ontario must be nervous given their wine industry.

      Sounds like the solution to this is cutting staff at the organization that prevents invasive pests. /s

      I wonder if controlled burns will be even more common now to stop invasive flora and fauna.
