Abstract
Ips sexdentatus, also known as the six-toothed spruce bark beetle, is a species that primarily colonizes spruce trees (Pinaceae) across Eurasia. While not yet recorded outside of its native range, it was listed the 2023 Priority Pest List designed by USDA’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service and has a high invasion potential to the North American continent.
