Hi, I'm a Emerald Ash Borer. My scientific name is Agrilus Planipennis. I'm an exotic beetle that originated from asia and was found in Detroit. I'm metallic green with 6 legs and 2 giant black eyes. I'm an invasive species because i invade trees and absorb all of the nutrients which later causes all the bark to fall off ad make the tree wither away, cya.
