  1. animal - snakehead, fish

    insect - longhorn beetle

    plant - giant reed


  2. Ivy, termites, bees(yellow jackets), rats

  3. the common goldfish (Carassius auratus) is invasive. Although it is common outside its range globally, it almost never appears in harmful densities

    barb goatgrass (Aegilops triuncialis), can be found in its introduced range in California on serpentine soils, which have low water-holding capacity, low nutrients, high Mg/Ca ratio, and possible heavy metal toxicity.

    One example of this is the knapweed (Centaurea diffusa). This Eastern European weed has spread its way through the western United States. Experiments show that 8-Hydroxyquinoline, a chemical produced at the root of C. diffusa, has a negative effect only on plants that have not co-evolved with C. diffusa.  

  4. trumpet vine  and zebra mussels and africanized bees

  5. Asian Long Horned Beetle

    Sirux wood wasp

    Qbiotype whitefly

    Pink hybiscus mealy bug

    Winter moth

    Gypsy Moth

    Giant hogweed

    Bittersweet vine

    Mile-a-minute weed

    Knot weed

    Euanimus bush(certain varieties)

    Red and Black squirrels

    Norway rats

  6. Kudzu vine (prominent in the southeast US, it covers and kills virtually all native plants & trees)

    Asian Carp (the fish, very problematic in the Mississippi River and Great Lakes.  It actually jumps into boats and injures people)

    Eurasian Watermilfoil (an aquatic plant that chokes rivers and lakes causing serious problems with wildlife and commerce)
