They are damn fierce! The mountain pine beetle species alone has killed over 70,000 square miles’ worth of trees. Or about the same area as Washington State.
Quantity indeed does the trick. And they are becoming a lot more numerous due to climate change...
Do we have an idea of the exact amount? Is it possibly to get it (possibly with satellites?)
