おもしろい事実

A single beetle can lay hundreds of eggs, quickly overwhelming an elm tree!

Larvae create 'skeletonized' leaves by eating only the soft parts, leaving veins behind.

Severe infestations can make elm trees look brown and defoliated, as if it's autumn in summer!

They sometimes sneak into people's homes during autumn to find a warm spot to sleep for winter.
