Invasive Region: China, Japan, Korea and North America
Habitat: Hardwood trees, maple trees, willow trees
Harm:Kills valuable shade and park trees, kills and injures forest trees
Manage: Destroy infested trees

Invasive from: China, Central Asia.
Harm: Apparently, other Trees just absolutely REFUSE to live near this thing, its like a creepy uncle you only ever see at family gatherings that nobody wants to talk to.
Habitat: From the little I can gather, it likes wide open spaces and it prefers areas where there is healthy grass with no other species like it nearby. Loners. I like it.
Its easy to contain and destroy this tree, its normal. Get an axe and cut it down. Problem Solved....

HOWEVER, This tree has become a habitat for native AND Invasive lantern insects of all types. It would be beneficial to keep this tree around, and c'mon its name is the Tree of Heaven... We gotta keep it.

# data[].attributes.body
Location: North America
Found in: China, it can grow anywhere no matter the conditions it is under.
Harm: Creates a lot of seeds that put toxic chemicals into the ground and affects the plants around it.
Managing it: To manage the tree you have to cut it down and not let it get out of control.

Invasive area: western Europe, and in several American cities,
habitat:  trees such as maple, birch, willow, elm, ash and other hardwood trees.
harm: psychically weakens the trees and disrupts sap flow
how to manage: destroy the infested trees

# data[].attributes.body
Invasive Region: North America
Habitat: Open Grasslands or habitats with low tree and shrub cover
Harm it Causes: Causes 1.6 million dollars worth of damage to crops and berries
Manage it: People could make nesting harder for them, or a Noise Device.

# data[].attributes.body
Invasive Region: introduced into North America, South Africa, New Zealand, and Australia. Starlings are now found across the United States, in the Bahamas, Central America, Yucatan Peninsula, Puerto Rico, Jamaica, and Cuba.
Habitat: They tend to prefer open grasslands or habitats with low tree and shrub cover. During the breeding season, starlings will nest in cavities, such as holes in trees or other protected spaces.
Harms It Causes:  They are noisy birds that do serious harm to humans, pets, and livestock. These pest birds can transmit parasites, like mites, fleas, and bedbugs
One Way To Manage: Trapping

The introduction of English ivy dates back to the early 1700s when European colonists imported the plant as an easy-to-grow evergreen ground cover. Impact: The planting and sale of English ivy continues in the United States even though it is one on the worst-spread invasive plants in the country due to its ability to handle widespread conditions, particularly on the east and west coasts. English ivy is an aggressive-spreading vine which can slowly kill trees by restricting light. It spreads by vegetative reproduction and by seed, which are consumed and spread by birds.

invasive in: the USA
harm: spreads diseases killing animals and people
managing: sterilization and using bacteria
habitat: warm humid climates.

Native in eastern Europe. They are Invasive in America. Harm: degrading habitats, decreases biodiversity of habitats.

Invasive Region: Asia

Habitat:  G🤬 vines, fruit trees, ornamental trees, and woody trees, including apple trees and several Rosaceae with stone fruits.

Management: Remove and Destroy Pests

invasive in: my yard

harm:Because butterfly bushes offer copious amounts of nectar, they become extremely attractive to pollinators, distracting them from other native co-flowering species, and reducing the native's reproductive success which eventually also harms the native's populations.

how to control: With butterfly bush, often the most effective use of herbicides is to make a cut-stump treatment. The trunk of the bush should be cut off at the base and concentrated glyphosate (such as in Roundup) or triclopyr (such as in Garlon or Brush B Gon) should be applied to the freshly cut surface.

invasive in: gulf of mexico and Caribbean
harm: kills coral reefs
managing: collecting lion fish colonies to eat etc.
habitat: warm marine areas such as wrecks and reefs

# data[].attributes.body
Invasive Region: New England Region (Including Canada), West Coast, ALL OF EUROPE (Somehow), And Australia.
Habitat: Fruit Trees, Grape Vines, Ornamental Trees, and Woody Trees.
Harm: Can lead to the complete destruction of forests due to the feasting on tree sap.
Management: The State Department of Agriculture for Pennsylvania has put up "trap trees" to lure the bugs in and to neutralize an entire colony in one fell swoop.

HOWEVER, the Department of Agriculture has discovered Spotted Lantern DNA in Honeybee honey, which increased nutrients within the honey and has led to a more diverse flavor pallet for the Honey Bees and for us.

Accidental Introduction into the "New World". Originates from Asia. May have arrived in Europe via Trade with China many years ago, imported on tree saplings to the United States and Canada.

Stink bugs are native to China, Japan, Korea, and Taiwan. They were unintentionally introduced into the United States, with the first specimen being collected in Pennsylvania in 1998.  Predators and other population control organisms are beginning to be discovered and experimented with to determine their capability of naturally controlling stink bugs. However during cold weather, Stink bugs seek out shelter that is warm, which is why they are known to invade people's homes during the fall and winter.
