The most destructive invasive species in New England, by far, is Homo sapiens sapiens.  It is theorized that it arrived and began colonization about 3,000 years ago by way of the northern route along the St. Lawrence causeway, down through Maine.

this probably doesnt help much, but its nonethe less absolutely true.

Cheat grass, it is a big problem the entirely US. It was brought across with grain from England. The problem is that it gets stuck in animals teeth and cause infection and sometimes death.
