Costa
Rican
Pest
Appears
In
California
Port
U.S.
federal
agriculture
inspectors
at the
ports of
Los
Angeles
and Long
Beach
have
found a
destructive
pest in
a
shipment
of
pineapples
that's
never
been
seen
before
in the
United
States.
The U.S.
Customers
and
Border
Protection
said
Wednesday
that the
variety
of
leafhopper
found
late
last
month
from
Costa
Rica can
cause
severe
damage
to such
crops as
grapes,
potatoes,
soybeans
and
corn.
The
insect
was the
second
first-in-the-nation
pest
that
inspectors
at the
Southern
California
port
complex
have
found in
the last
two
months.
Crews
there
found a
type of
aphid in
late
June.
