? emerald ash borer bug #185744

Asked May 27, 2014, 2:40 PM EDT

My ash tree appears to be dead. On the trunk of the tree it looks like the tail end of a bug sticking out of it. When I pulled it out there is about an inch hole  into the tree. Is that sound like an emerald ash borer?

Thank you for your question about EAB.

Below is a link to an excellent publication by SDSU's John Ball. It should answer your question quite handily.
