Asian Longhorned Beetle Pheno Forecast, Contiguous United States, Current Year and Prior Year

Pheno Forecast maps predict key life cycle stages in a range of species to improve conservation and management outcomes. For insect pest species, Pheno Forecasts are based on published growing degree day (GDD) thresholds for key points in species life cycles. These key points typically represent life cycle stages when management actions are most effective. As a generalist pest, Asian longhorned beetle poses a great potential threat to eastern forests.

We forecast first adults emerged in Asian longhorned beetle (Anoplophora glabripennis) at 689.75F growing degree days, 25% adults emerged at 720F growing degree days, 50% adults emerged at 820F growing degree days, and >75% adults emerged at 1973F growing degree days (all with base 50F, start date: January 1, double sine GDD method). These maps are updated daily and available 6 days in the future.

Forecasts are available for the current and prior year in the USA-NPN Visualization Tool (https://www.usanpn.org/data/visualizations).
