European Spruce Bark Beetle
Ips typographus European Spruce Bark Beetle (Ips typographus) is an insect pest of spruce trees. It is a native of Europe and was first detected in Indiana in 1995. Currently not found in North America, this insect is very successful in seeking out suitable hosts and has a high probability of being able to reproduce should it enter via the northern portions of North America. This is just one of many forest pests that are moved to un-infested forests by humans moving firewood. Help to protect our forests: don't move firewood!
