It is found throughout Canada and the United States and can be a pest of ash and lilac. AppearanceLike other clear wing moths, ash borers have partially transparent wings due to a lack of colored scales on the wings.[1] The body is brown with yellowing striping on the legs and abdomen, and can give the appearance that the ash borer is a paper wasp.[2][3] Hosts and life cycleAsh borer adults feed on nectar and will lay their eggs in the bark of lilac, ash, and privet, but can attack closely related plants in its range within Canada and North America.[1] Larvae feed beneath the bark by chewing into the sapwood. Larval feeding can destroy the tree's phloem, weakening and possibly killing already stressed or very young trees by increasing the potential for wind damage or wilting.[1] Pupae overwinter in the feeding gallery and emerge as adults the following spring. Adults begin to emerge between April and July or 300 to 500 growing degree days above {{convert|50|°F|°C}} or about one week after full bloom of lilac.[1] Monitoring and treatmentPheromone traps can be used to monitor for the presence of ash borers.[3] Minimizing tree stress through mulching, watering during drought, and avoiding damage from equipment can reduce the occurrence of damage.[3] In areas where ash borers are present and causing damage, insecticides can be applied to the trunk and branches before larvae chew into the bark. However, insecticides, are not effective once larvae are inside the tree. Even systemic insecticides that are incorporated by the tree that are normally effective for other wood-boring insects are not effective.[1] References1. ^1 2 3 4 {{cite web |url=https://extension.usu.edu/files/publications/factsheet/lilac-ash-borer10.pdf |title=Lilac-Ash Borer |last1=Davis |first1=R.S. |last2=Beddes |first2=T. |last3=Karren |first3=J.B. |date=February 2010 |publisher=Utah State University Extension |accessdate=December 16, 2014}} {{Taxonbar|from=Q2324040}}2. ^{{cite web|url=http://ipm.illinois.edu/landturf/insects/ash_lilac_borer/ |title=Ash/Lilac Borers |publisher=University of Illinois Extension |accessdate=December 16, 2014 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20141217082839/http://ipm.illinois.edu/landturf/insects/ash_lilac_borer/ |archivedate=December 17, 2014 }} 3. ^1 2 {{cite web |url=http://www.extension.iastate.edu/news/2008/may/071603.htm |title=Ash-Lilac Borer: A Common Pest in Iowa |publisher=Iowa State University Extension |accessdate=December 16, 2014}} 2 : Sesiidae|Moths described in 1839 |
