The question I have about the EAB is what happens when all the Ash trees are
gone? Does it adapt to something else or just disappear? It seems a poor
survival strategy if you kill your food source and it happens to be a tree
that doesn't replace itself through 10 generations.

As one who always looks for a silver lining I must say that the devastation
inflicted on the native ash trees by the EAB has been a real benefit to
novice birders such as my wife and me.  Those leafless canopies interspersed
within healthy forest stands makes spotting and identifying birds so much
easier.  Our first ever trip to Maumee back in May was especially rewarding
because of all the leafless branches.  Now if we can just get the EAB to go
away and let our forests get back to normal.
