Citrus Long-horned Beetle Invades Seattle Bonsai

Agriculture Dept. schedules open house on long-horned beetle
2002-04-25
Journal Staff


TUKWILA -- The state Department of Agriculture will host an open house about the citrus long-horned beetle quarantine from 6-8 p.m. today at Showalter Middle School, 4628 S. 144th St.

Three of the non-native, invasive beetles were captured at the Bonsai Northwest nursery in Tukwila last August. A fourth beetle was seen escaping from a hole in a tree.

State agriculture workers found a total of eight exit holes in a shipment of 369 maple trees from Korea, which could mean that up to five beetles got away.

Copies of the quarantine language are available at Foster Library, 4060 S. 144th St.; Tukwila City Hall, 6200 Southcenter Blvd.; or online here

The latest in the continuing saga:


Stemming a beetle invasion
State wants to clear 1,000 trees near Tukwila nursery

by David Quigg; The News Tribune

"I knew what it was as soon as I saw it," John Muth said with a grimace, remembering one of the tree-devouring beetles that launched their invasion of America from his Tukwila nursery 10 months ago. "I was deeply tempted to squish it."
