Priority Invasive and Migratory Insects to Report
A PSA from the Province of BC:
Do you spend time monitoring, photographing or observing insects? If so, your help is needed to watch for and report invasive and migratory insect pests that harm plants, causing damage to Canada’s environment, farm lands, forests, parks and other natural areas. Early detection is critical for slowing the spread of these insect pests.

P.S., many of our native insects can appear quite similar to these invasive ones on the 'hit' list. Please take time to ID our observation and check range maps and other relevant info to ensure accuracy before reporting!
