Invasive pest species can cause the health of host plants decline and eventually result in the death of host plant (Bernardo 2015). It is important to track the ability of invasive species to infect new hosts in order to gain an understanding of any pest control measures that must be taken. Our study intends to provide data one such pest, and possible factors that may provide insight into the patterns by which these insects select their host. This information may prove useful to future researchers in determining the prevalence and threat these insects may pose to Ulmus genus in the future.
