Invasive Species

I have two invasive species to show you today.
Sparrow: First off is the sparrow it's very invavsive to prairies all aorund. The color of it is brown and gray. The male has a darker chest than the female to distinct themselves. They can grow up 6.5 inches but usually only 5.5 inches. The latin of the sparrow is Grogaies. It's called that because of it's loud mating call in the spring.

The ash bore:
The ash bore can fly a short distance and spreads due to people transporting its larvae burrowed under ash bark.It was accidentally brought to the USA  from asia in the 1990's. They cut off the channels that carry nutrients, water and sugar to nourish the tree.
