Answer 1

The Asian long-horned beetles in Michigan would be considered an invasive species. Invasive species are non-native organisms that cause harm to the environment, economy, or human health, and the Asian long-horned beetle fits that description as it threatens hardwood trees and ecosystems it invades. The other options listed are native species or not considered invasive in their respective regions.
