The emerald ash borer (Agrilus planipennis) is a highly destructive, wood-boring insect in the jewel beetle family that infests and kills ash trees (Fraxinus spp.).
The beetle was first detected in Canada in southern Ontario in 2002 and confirmed in Vancouver in spring 2024. It has slowly spread to nearby areas over time.
