Asian Longhorned Beetles on the Orange Line

Jeepers, creepers

The USDA wasted little time getting ads up on the Orange Line, which starts (or ends) right in the middle of Beetleville (anybody know about buses out of Forest Hills?). UPDATE: Actually, they started running this campaign last year, but ye ed was blissfully unaware of it until a couple days ago. See the comments for more.

Meanwhile, the city, state and feds are holding an open house this Saturday, 10 a.m. to noon at Jamaica Plain's Curtis Hall to get residents in the Beetle Zone the information they need on how to spot any infestation and how to dispose of branches, stumps and other woody stuff for the next, oh, four years or so.
