If you think you’ve found an Asian longhorned beetle (ALB) or signs of infestation, always record the area where the specimen was found.  If possible, capture the insects you think are ALB, place them in a jar and freeze them — this will preserve the insect for easy identification. Take digital pictures of the insect and damage to your trees in case officials request them. And report your findings online or call 1-866-702-9938.
