Reporting Form

Please use this form to report any suspected invasive insect, forest pest, or disease in New Hampshire.

NHBugs is a reporting tool for invasive insects and diseases detected within New Hampshire. If you are located outside of New Hampshire, please contact your state agency of agriculture to determine how to make a report in your state.

To take pictures of a fast-moving insect, slow it down by placing it in the freezer for at least an hour before taking the picture. Upload the picture(s) below. Store the insect in a tupperware-like container until you hear from us. We will either tell you to release the insect or give you instructions about mailing it, delivering it or arranging for pick-up.

For jumping worms, you do not need to submit a report, but follow Best Management Practices found here: https://www.nhbugs.org/damaging-insects-diseases/jumping-worms
