Invasive species – not just insects
EAB 1st Detectors Meaning of “Invasive”
Species non-native to an environment may be called: Alien Exotic Introduced
If they also cause harm to the economy, environment and / or human health they are called: Invasive
Native species are not called invasive even if they do cause harm
