Commentary

Avatar of commenter Thank you for your report! It is early for EAB adult emergence. There are a number of iridescent green look-alike beetles in Oregon that are not pests. I am attaching a link to the ODF EAB webpage with some photos of other Oregon insects that could be mistaken for EAB
