August is a good time to keep a lookout for invasive species. 

University of Illinois Extension Horticulture Educator Andrew Holsinger says to be on the lookout for the spotted lanternfly. They pose a threat to desirable plants. 

The Emerald Ash Borer can be a threat to trees native to Illinois. 

Invasive insects are not the only species to keep an eye on. Invasive plants may cause trouble, too. 

Holsinger wants you to keep an eye out for bush honeysuckle. 

Whether it’s a plant or an insect, Holsinger hopes you’ll say something if you think you find an invasive species. 

Make a report when you visit extension.illinois.edu. Holsinger appeared as a guest on the WTIM Morning Show.
