Lesser Spruce Shoot Beetle
Hylurgops palliatus

Lesser Spruce Shoot Beetle (Hylurgops palliatus) is an insect pest of conifers. It is a native of Europe and was first detected in Pennsylvania in 2001.

Trees stressed from a variety of conditions seem to be prone to attacks. This is just one of many forest pests that are moved to un-infested forests by humans moving firewood. Help protect our forests: don't move firewood!
