All Good. You can go

1 Common Name; Binomial Nomenclature
2 How do you know? (How did you discern it from its look-alike?)
3 How would its control methods be different than its look alike?
4 Where has it invaded vs where has its look-alike invaded
5 Can we start doing harder questions in which the species look very similar such as this one? That way, we learn more and make the most of this resource (as opposed to doing species such as the Nutria), lets do questions in which we will have a good chance of being wrong

1. Asian Long-Horned Beetle (anoplophora glabripennis)
2. Bluish to white color on legs dorsal surface
3. ALB has possible chemical and biological control methods while its look-alike is focused on removing infected trees and quarantining infested areas.
4. ALB: US, Canda, Trinidad
Citrus Beetle: N.A, Taiwan, Indonesia, Malaysia
5. Will try, however, I try to mix up the questions. The hardest ID is most likely the plants, as they have the largest amount that look similar.

Correct. And agreed, plants are the most difficult so I propose we try to focus questions on those. Your turn!

Diffuse knapweed?; Centaurea diffusa
sexually by seed
damages mouth and digestive tract of grazing animals
pros: easier to ensure root is removed; con: time consuming and labor-some

No sorry incorrect. You can try again if you would like, or let someone else answer.
