Commentary

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