it likes to eat all types of wood and some type of bark
The emerald ash borer affects other trees in the ecosystem by damaging and killing ash trees, which can lead to a decrease in biodiversity and disrupt the balance of the ecosystem.
The Emerald Ash Borer is a predator to ash trees. It infests and feeds on ash trees, causing severe damage and often leading to tree death. The invasive beetle is a significant threat to ash tree populations in North America.
Emrald ash borerers eat ash trees ( it's in the name)
The bug killing ash trees is called the emerald ash borer. It is an invasive species native to Asia that attacks and kills ash trees by feeding on the tissue beneath the bark, disrupting the tree's ability to transport water and nutrients.
The emerald ash borer thrive in Michigan due in part to the fact that Michigan has so many Ash trees. Part of how the emerald ash borer spreads is by people hauling firewood from one part of the state to another and they unknowingly are also hauling the invasive insect with them.
To effectively stop the spread of the emerald ash borer infestation, it is important to remove and properly dispose of infected ash trees, use insecticides to protect healthy trees, and avoid moving firewood from infested areas. Regular monitoring and early detection are also key in managing the infestation.

the ash borer feeds on tissue in the ash tree and the larvae shut off the food and water supply causing the tree to die
There are two types of stingless wasps that lay eggs in the larvae of emerald ash borer. Currently these wasps are being used to control the spread of eab especially in areas where chemical controls and removal of infested trees are difficult. Additionaly, woodpeckers eat the larvae. In fact this is a good way to tell if you tree is infested with eab. The woodpeckers go crazy trying to find fresh larvae to eat, and expose their feeding galleries.
i don't know excatly but i don't think they do
