Do you have any invasive species in your area?

Rabbits, foxes, feral pigs and now deer as well. And let's not forget the cane toads in the north that are slowly making their way southwards.

Lionfish is another one we have in Florida!

There are fish in the waterways that invasive Also, I think it is called a Japanese lantern. It is an invasive insect.

The major problem in our lakes are also those invasive very large catfish, they are killing all the local species. On land the feral hogs and wolves.

Of course starlings and house sparrows.

Sea nettles here in the Barnegat Bay. Tiny stinging jellyfish.

We probably do but I don’t pay attention to it.

A huge issue we have here in Washington is the European green crab. In the state parks where I host, we put posters around and ask those who find one to keep it out and notify the rangers so the fish and wild life can investigate. We also have the zebra mussels, Himalayan blackberry, Northern Giant Hornet, feral hogs, and Nutria. They have been encouraging people to eat the Nutria, a rodent..

Southern Illinois has some feral hogs around the Shawnee National Forest area, but none as far north as here. We have Asian carp, many invasive types of plants and vines, way, way too many deer and let us not ever forget we have so many Canadian geese it's ridiculous. The geese never fly south now. They just stay here. Yesterday, a flock of geese were just sitting on the ice on one of our lakes. My son started laughing and said, if they are waiting for it to melt, they are going to have to wait awhile!
