The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) has identified the box tree moth (cydalima perspectalis) in the United States. This is the first detection of this invasive species in the nation.
The Ohio Department of Agriculture (ODA) was made aware that potentially infested boxwood plants were shipped to several Ohio nurseries and greenhouses from a supplier in Canada between August 2020 and April 2021. The ODA responded to the Ohio facilities that received these plants, immediately stopped the sale of boxwood, and is working with the close cooperation of the facilities to destroy all of the high-risk plants from these shipments.
Cicadas will be surfacing after spending nearly two decades underground. They will come out by the billions this spring across at least 16 states, including Ohio.
In Ohio, Brood X periodical cicadas last emerged in 2004, will be coming out in concentrated areas throughout the western portion of the state, according to experts. We expect to see the largest concentrations of these cicadas in the following counties: Defiance, Franklin, Greene, Hamilton, Logan and Montgomery. Brood X is one of the largest and most broadly distributed groups of periodical cicadas, stretching from Georgia to New York and reaching as far west as the Mississippi River, according to a statement from Ohio Department of Agriculture (ODA).
