Invasive Insects
Invasive insects damage the ecosystem by excluding native insects from their natural environment, usually through out-competing for food resources. In addition, invasive insects can damage or kill trees and other plants. Learn about some of the invasive insects that are found in Wisconsin and how to manage them if you find them.
