They will look like size & shape of lighting bugs and dark black camouflage from above until neon green is seen in brighter light. Their bottoms are even lighter tin foil Green.<br /><br />Unfortunately glutinous borers are causing this "Keystone" species of our Elm-Ash-Cottonwood ecosystem to become extinct right before our very eyes along with 44 native Arthropods that rely on ash for life. Fortunately it is very easy to safely save trees from EAB with trunk injected Tree-age needed every three yrs. until danger inevitably passes from borers "Infestation" populations.<br /><br />If u or anyone would like more info, just e-mail me, Scottie Ash seed at ashtree@juno.com PS: Scientists can only watch adverse health & ecology affects unfold as #1 tree species producing most green seen from space is lost within six quick years. You can help by planting new trees or waiting to cut down old ones until system recovers.
