What Invasive Species Are In Your Area?

[Clayton Will]

Invasive species seem to be everywhere these days.

When I was a kid the only invaders were from Mars.

Humans mostly

Moles, before I moved to Greene County I never saw a mole.

We have asian carp, armadillos, kudzu, emerald ash borers, japanese beetles, ladybugs are just some that come to mind. Honeybees are not native either.

Bighead carp, silver carp, white perch, pheasant, need I go on?

jd I had a grey bear in my area but I may have run it off. But you never can be for sure, it was not good looking. rfc

Those conservation area meth head tweekers are pretty invasive too...

Considering there are so invasive species in both plants and creatures, those from Asia top my list. I despise Japanese beetles and those stinky Asian beetles that find their way into every crack of my home. Asian carp is next on my list. It's a shame there are way too many to name.

I thinks the Indians were here first, that would make most of us invasive species also.
