New bug on the block?`

OK, East Coast-ers. Have you heard about a new bug that is the nemesis for maples? We've suffered through Oak Wilt, Emerald Ash Borer; Spruce and Pine Beetles, now I read where something is attacking maples? Is is all maples or just certain strains (Silver, Norway, Japanese)? Any facts on how to combat it if it's true? I just cringe when I read something like this. It was 2-3 years before we identified the cause of our dying ash trees here in MI., and another two before we found something that could save a tree if caught early. Any hard news would be appreciated--no speculation, please. I can imagine enough on my own... :(

Thanks,
Wingdesigner
