Abstract

The pine shoot beetle, Tomicus piniperda (L.), is native to the pine growing regions of Europe, Asia, and northern Africa (Bakke 1968; L?ngstrom 1983; Ye 1991). Established populations of T. piniperda were first found in North America in 1992 (Haack and Kucera 1993), and as of January 2002, it now occurs in 318 counties in the United States and 51 counties in Canada (Haack and Poland 2002).
