The Asian Longhorn Beetle May Be On Its Way
listen:
  The State of New Hampshire is on the lookout for a serious tree killer. We're not talking about the wooly adelgid here. This new danger is called the Asian Longhorn Beetle. And Kyle Lombard rates its threat level right up there with dutch elm disease and chestnut blight. Lombard studies forest insects and diseases for the Division of Forest and Lands. He tells NHPR's Mark Bevis that this beetle recently showed up just south of the border in Worcester, Massachusetts. Web resources:

I work at Texas Instruments on hillipe Cote street in downtown Manchester NH and noticed that several of the tree that line Commercial Street are either dead or dying. A closer look showed a significant amount of 1/4 to 1/2 inch holes through out the trunk of the trees. I did not actually see any beetles but thought you may want to check out these trees for professional verification.
