Attack of the ALB!!!

While tagging on the computer at the toddler store i saw this really scary bug with wings and really long legs and freaked because i thought it was the Asian Long horned Beetle. Perhaps you have seen the ads on the subway to report them if spotted because they will kill all the trees in NYC and change our eco system forever. Scary, right? So i thought i would bring some awareness about this potential threatening creature. The ALB is a wood-boring insect that digs tunnels in the wood of hard-wood healthy trees. Worst of all the only way to stop them is to kill the tree they inhabit, or the insect itself. So for the sake of the few trees here in NYC, keep an eye out and report the insects if you see them. They enter the country in packages of lumber and other paper products from China.
