If you think you’ve seen EZS, please report your sighting – record where you saw the species, and if possible, take photos of the species or suspected leaf damage. Protect Canada’s elm trees by keeping an eye out for this signature ‘zigzag’ feeding pattern when out enjoying our nation’s natural beauty. Everyone in Canada plays an important role in detecting, reporting, and promoting invasive species awareness.

Preventing this species from expanding across the continent starts with early detection and consistent monitoring of elm trees. With only a single confirmed detection of this species in North America, EZS is in the early phase of species arrival. Combined with their tiny size, and relatively undetectable presence in low densities, EZS has the potential to impact Canada’s biodiversity. Such a rapid life cycle is of concern, as is their ability to withstand temperatures as low as –30 ☌ which leaves much of Canada susceptible to this forest pest. Adult EZS lay eggs in the serrated edge of the elm leaf, and have been known to produce six generations in a year. How does EZS spread? Adult EZS can travel up to 90 km through flight but have been known to hitchhike on vehicles, or on elm products travelling much greater distances than would be possible by natural movement. This has potential to further exacerbate the population decline of elm trees that are already vulnerable due to Dutch elm disease ( Ophiostoma ulmi).

Although EZS has not proven to be a leading cause in tree mortality, continuous feeding can cause significant branch die-back and crown thinning, and can eventually lead to the weaking and increased vulnerability of the tree. All species of elm trees native to North America are at risk, as well as the native elm-browsing insects which are out-competed by EZS. Outside of its native range, EZS is known to cause severe defoliation of elm trees ( Ulmus spp.).

The first confirmed detection of EZS in North America occurred in July, 2020 near Saint-Martine, Quebec by a citizen scientist who reported the signature ‘zigzag’ feeding pattern on the iNaturalist.ca application. MG promises a range of 262 km on a single charge on the ZS EV with the lithium-ion battery getting a seven-year warranty.With its signature feeding pattern, the elm zigzag sawfly (EZS Aproceros leucopoda) has begun its invasion into North America.
