In its native range of Europe and Asia, the brown spruce longhorn beetle (Tetropium fuscum) is known to attack weakened, stressed, and dead or
felled spruce and also attacks pines, fir, and larch. The Brown Spruce Longhorn Beetle
(BSLB) has been identified by scientists with the Canadian Forest Service (CFS) to be the
causal agent of spruce tree mortality in Point Pleasant Park in the Halifax Regional
Municipality.
