Forest Insect Pests 1.0.2

This application features a collection of photographs aimed at assisting foresters, urban landscape personnel, and other professionals working with trees in identifying common pest insects found across North America. The images support the recognition of pests, understanding their life cycles, and assessing the types of damage they inflict on trees. The content has been compiled from various sources, including books, websites, fact sheets, and original research. It is important to note that this app is not designed as a tool for expert identification. For many groups such as bark beetles and aphids, accurate species confirmation requires careful examination of morphological details beyond what photos can provide, often necessitating comparison with related species and the use of identification keys. References for further reading—including relevant websites and articles—are provided at the bottom of each species' information page.
