Acmaeodera parkeri
Acmaeodera parkeri is a species of metallic wood-boring beetle in the family Buprestidae, described by Cazier in 1940. The species occurs in Central America and North America, with records from the southwestern United States and Mexico. Adults have been observed visiting flowers of several plant species, including Allionia incarnata (creeping four o'clock), Talinum whitei (White's flameflower), and Evolvulus arizonicus (Arizona blue-eyes).

burnt pine longhorn beetle (A. ferus), black pine sawyer (A. rusticus)
Arhopalus is a genus of longhorn beetles (Cerambycidae: Spondylidinae: Asemini) distributed across the Northern Hemisphere, with several species introduced to the Southern Hemisphere as invasive pests of conifers. The genus comprises approximately 20 described species, with A. rusticus and A. ferus being the most extensively studied due to their economic importance. Species develop in dead or fire-damaged conifer wood, with some exhibiting strong attraction to burnt pine volatiles. Several species produce male-emitted aggregation-sex pheromones containing fuscumol and geranylacetone. Invasive populations in New Zealand, Australia, South America, and South Africa require monitoring at ports and sawmills for timber export compliance.

Pine Weevil, White Pine Weevil
Brachyderes incanus is a weevil species in the family Curculionidae. Adults are primarily associated with coniferous trees, particularly pines. The species has a broad distribution across parts of Europe and Asia. Larval development occurs in roots and root collars of host trees, where feeding damage can be significant.
Cinara pergandei
Globose Pine Aphid
Cinara pergandei is a large aphid species in the family Aphididae, commonly known as the Globose Pine Aphid. It feeds on coniferous trees, particularly pines, and produces copious amounts of honeydew that attracts wasps and other insects. Like other Cinara species, it has piercing-sucking mouthparts adapted for tapping into phloem sap. It is part of a genus containing numerous conifer-feeding aphids, many of which are significant pests in forestry and Christmas tree production.
Cylindrocopturus eatoni
pine reproduction weevil
A weevil species in the family Curculionidae, commonly known as the pine reproduction weevil. Adults are black with dense grayish scales and are capable fliers, though they frequently hop when disturbed. The species is a documented pest of young ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa) and Jeffrey pine (P. jeffreyi), attacking reproductive structures and bark. It has been observed in Oregon and is associated with coniferous forest habitats.
Dolichomitus pterelas
A parasitoid wasp in the family Ichneumonidae, characterized by an exceptionally long ovipositor used to reach host larvae concealed deep within wood. The species exhibits aposematic coloration with metallic blue-black body and golden-yellow wings. It is a solitary parasitoid of wood-boring insect larvae.
Eucopina
Pine Coneborer and Shoot-Borer Moths
Eucopina is a genus of tortricid moths comprising approximately nine described species, all native to North America. Species in this genus are commonly known as pine coneborers and shoot-borers, reflecting their specialized association with conifer hosts. Larvae of several species are documented pests of pine and fir cones and shoots, causing economic damage in forestry contexts. The genus was formally described by Gilligan & Wright in 2014.
Eucopina sonomana
Western Pine Shoot Borer Moth
Eucopina sonomana, known as the Western Pine Shoot Borer Moth, is a small tortricid moth in the tribe Eucosmini. The species is associated with coniferous hosts, particularly pines, and occurs in western North America. Larvae are known to bore into pine shoots, causing damage to terminal growth. The species was originally described as Eucosma sonomana by Kearfott in 1907.
Givira lotta
Pine Carpenterworm Moth
Givira lotta, commonly known as the pine carpenterworm moth, is a species of carpenter moth in the family Cossidae. First described in 1910, it is native to the southwestern United States where it inhabits pine forests. The species is notable for its specific association with ponderosa pine as a larval host.
Glycaspis
Glycaspis is a genus of plant-parasitic psyllids in the family Aphalaridae. Species in this genus are strongly associated with Eucalyptus host plants. The genus includes at least two described species: Glycaspis brimblecombei (red gum lerp psyllid), a significant invasive pest of eucalyptus plantations worldwide, and Glycaspis granulata. Many Glycaspis species exhibit high host specificity, often restricted to single Eucalyptus species or closely related host groups. The genus is native to Australia, where it shows patterns of short-range endemism linked to host plant distribution.
Gonipterus
Eucalyptus Weevils, Eucalyptus Snout Beetles, Eucalyptus Snout Weevils
Gonipterus is a genus of weevils in the family Curculionidae, comprising approximately 20 described species native primarily to Australia. These insects are obligate plant feeders, with many species exhibiting high host specificity. Several species, notably Gonipterus platensis, G. pulverulentus, and G. gibberus, have become significant pests of Eucalyptus plantations globally, having spread to regions where these trees have been introduced. Taxonomic confusion has historically plagued the genus, with DNA studies in 2012 clarifying that populations previously identified as G. scutellatus in New Zealand, North America, western Europe, Africa, and eastern Europe actually represent distinct species. The genus has substantial economic importance in forestry, driving research into biological control agents such as the egg parasitoid Anaphes nitens.
Hylastes opacus
crenulate bark beetle
Hylastes opacus is a bark beetle in the family Curculionidae, subfamily Scolytinae, native to the Palearctic region and recently introduced to North America. The species breeds in stumps and roots of dead or dying pines (Pinus) and occasionally other conifers. Adults use host volatiles as chemical cues to locate suitable breeding material, with documented attraction to nonanal, ethanol, and (-)-α-pinene. The species has been recorded in North American locations including Vermont and New York.
Hypsipyla grandella
Mahogany Shoot Borer
Hypsipyla grandella is a pyralid moth whose larvae are serious pests of mahogany (Swietenia spp.) and Spanish-cedar (Cedrela spp.). The larvae bore into terminal shoots and seeds, causing significant damage to plantation forestry in the Neotropics. Adults have silvery hyaline hindwings that distinguish them from the congeneric Hypsipyla ferrealis, which has gray hindwings. The species has been introduced to Mauritius outside its native range.
Leptoglossus
leaf-footed bugs
Leptoglossus is a genus of true bugs in the leaf-footed bug family Coreidae, tribe Anisoscelini. Species are characterized by leaflike dilations of the hind tibia, a diagnostic trait of the genus. The genus is distributed throughout the Americas, with some introduced populations in Europe and Asia. Several species are economically significant agricultural pests, notably L. occidentalis, which has become invasive in multiple continents.

flavescens
Oriental moth
Monema flavescens is a medium-sized moth in the family Limacodidae (slug moths or cup moths), native to East Asia. Adults exhibit yellowish coloration typical of the genus, with males having a wingspan of 30–32 mm and females 35–39 mm. The larvae are polyphagous defoliators of broadleaf trees, bearing urticating spines that can affect human health. The species has one to two generations per year depending on region, with adults active from late June to August. It has been introduced to Massachusetts, USA, and is considered a potential quarantine pest for Europe.
Oreoneta
A genus of dwarf spiders (family Linyphiidae) established in 1894, comprising approximately 30 species distributed across cold-temperate and Arctic regions of the Northern Hemisphere. Most species inhabit high-latitude or high-altitude environments. The genus was revised extensively by Saaristo & Marusik in 2004, resulting in numerous new species descriptions.

rhinoceros beetles
Pentodontini is the most diverse tribe within the subfamily Dynastinae (rhinoceros beetles), containing over 100 genera distributed across multiple biogeographic regions. Most genera are restricted to a single biogeographic region. The tribe is characterized by substantial morphological diversity, with generic-level identification often relying on mouthpart morphology in females and secondary sexual characters (horns, claw modifications, antennal club length) in males.

striatulus
Balsam Bark Weevil
Pissodes striatulus, known as the balsam bark weevil, is a species of true weevil in the family Curculionidae. It occurs in North America, with records from multiple Canadian provinces including Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, and New Brunswick. The species is associated with coniferous hosts, particularly balsam fir (Abies balsamea), though specific ecological details remain limited in published sources.
Podoschistus vittifrons
Podoschistus vittifrons is the sole North American representative of its genus, a member of the ichneumonid subfamily Poemeniinae. It is an ectoparasitoid wasp that targets wood-boring beetle larvae, using its elongated ovipositor to deposit eggs through solid wood. The species has undergone repeated taxonomic revision, previously assigned to the genera Xorides and Neoxorides. Despite its large size and distinctive appearance, it is rarely encountered in the field.
Proteoteras
boxelder twig borer moth, maple twig borer moth
Proteoteras is a genus of tortricid moths in the subfamily Olethreutinae, commonly known as twig borer moths. The genus includes at least eight described species, several of which are economically significant pests of maple and boxelder trees. Larvae tunnel in twigs, petioles, and seeds, causing terminal dieback and structural damage. The genus was established by Riley in 1881, with P. aesculana as the type species.
Retinia
Pine Shoot Moths
Retinia is a genus of tortricid moths in the subfamily Olethreutinae, commonly known as pine shoot moths. Species in this genus are associated with coniferous hosts, particularly pines (Pinus spp.). The genus has been studied in European forestry contexts for its role as a pest of young pine stands. Larval feeding damages shoot tips, affecting tree growth form.
Rhyacionia busckana
Red Pine Tip Moth
Rhyacionia busckana is a small tortricid moth commonly known as the Red Pine Tip Moth. It is a conifer specialist whose larvae feed on pine species, causing damage to shoot tips. The species occurs in North America and is of economic concern in forestry contexts.
Rhyacionia duplana
summer shoot moth, Elgin shoot moth
A small tortricid moth with a wingspan of 14–18 mm, Rhyacionia duplana is known for larval damage to young pine trees. Adults emerge in early spring, with flight beginning in March in warmer regions and April elsewhere. The species has a broad distribution across northern and central Europe through eastern Russia to East Asia, with subspecies recognized in Europe and Japan.
Rhyacionia neomexicana
Southwestern pine tip moth
Rhyacionia neomexicana is a tortricid moth whose larvae are significant pests of southwestern pines. The species completes one generation annually, with larvae tunneling into pine shoots to feed, causing characteristic tip dieback. Adults emerge in spring and lay eggs on new pine growth. The species specifically targets ponderosa pine seedlings and saplings, where infestations reduce both height and radial growth.
Steremnius carinatus
conifer seedling weevil
Steremnius carinatus, commonly known as the conifer seedling weevil, is a pest of coniferous seedlings in coastal British Columbia. Adults emerge from stumps and slash approximately two years after logging and girdle young seedlings near the root collar. The species was formerly considered a scavenger but is now recognized as a significant reforestation pest. Adults are unusually long-lived, surviving three or more winters and producing broods annually.
Stictocephala stimulea
Stictocephala stimulea is a treehopper species in the family Membracidae, first described by Van Duzee in 1914. Treehoppers in this genus are characterized by their enlarged, often ornate pronotum that extends over the body like a helmet or thorn. The specific epithet 'stimulea' suggests possible resemblance to or association with stinging organisms, though this refers to appearance rather than actual sting. Like other membracids, this species likely feeds on plant phloem sap using piercing-sucking mouthparts.

spruce bud moth
Zeiraphera canadensis, the spruce bud moth, is a small tortricid moth native to North America. The species is univoltine, with eggs laid on white spruce in July that overwinter and hatch the following May. Larvae feed within spruce buds and shoots, causing deformation and growth reduction in host trees. The species is recognized as a significant pest of white spruce plantations, particularly in Canada and the northeastern United States.
