[QUOTE="piperbarb, post: 157101, member: 12214"] 6-4-13: All around this area are these purple triangular-shaped bug traps. They are being used to trap the invasive insect, the emerald ash borer beetle, which originally came from Asia. These are nasty beetles whose larvae totally destroy ash trees by eating the tree under the bark. I have noticed this particular trap for the past couple of weeks and decided that today was the day to take a photo of the trap, and the sign explaining what it is and why it is there.
