Lilac ash borer exit holes are easily visible, and perfectly round.
Lilac-ash borers can attack lilacs, causing dieback.
Honeylocust pod gall midges overwinter in cocoons in the soil or bark crevices, and emerge on warm spring days.
Larval feeding causes the leaves to swell, protecting the midge larvae inside.
The honeylocust borer adult is a beetle, and the larvae feed in meandering trails under the bark.
The exit holes of honeylocust borers are D-shaped.
Ash leaf curl aphid feeds in large colonies within tightly curled ash leaves.
