Asian Long-Horned Beetles, Introduced into North America, Lay Their Eggs

Question 30

Multiple Choice

Asian long-horned beetles, introduced into North America, lay their eggs in almost any available deciduous tree. The larvae eat the soft bark and sap, making it difficult for nutrients to reach other parts of the tree, then burrow into the middle of it, leaving large tunnels and weakening the tree. Adult beetles emerge from the tree by burrowing through the bark, leaving large holes. Many trees do not survive these infestations. Asian long-horned beetles thus impact native species by

A) out-competing them.
B) preying on and killing them.
C) destroying their habitat.
D) specifically attacking rare species.
