The Beetle Blitz is Coming to Manchester and Portsmouth

In mid to late August, Manchester and Portsmouth have scheduled the beetle blitz.

It's not a musical tribute to those fab four from Liverpool.

The beetle blitz is an attempt to find what forestry experts in the state consider a serious threat.

The Asian long horned beetle.

University of New Hampshire Professor Stan Swier works with the Cooperative Extension Service.

He tells NHPR's Mark Bevis that organizers are looking for volunteers to fan out across the Queen and Port cities to search for this insect that has already been found in Massachusetts.
