#Decoys could blunt spread of ash-killing beetlesas the emerald ash borer ravages North american ash trees threatening the trees'very survival a team of entomologists
Thomas C. Baker Distinguished Professor of Entomology at Penn State knew that the male EAB locates a mate by flying over an ash tree finding a female by identifying her green wings
what the U s. Department of agriculture Forest Service claims to be the most destructive forest pest ever seen in North america said Michael Domingue postdoctoral fellow in entomology Penn State.
The researchers--including entomologists and engineers at Penn State the Hungarian Academy of Sciences the Forest Research Institute in Matrafured Hungary and the USDA--created the decoys using a bioreplication process with nanoscale fidelity.
Next the entomology researchers pinned the bioreplicated and 3d printed decoys as well as dead female emerald ash borers onto leaves in forests in Hungary to see which of them best attracted wild males.
