Mr. Millstein again accidentally left the screened cover off one of the tanks holding the insects he was breeding, and several insects escaped. Fearing that they would travel to Ms. Westerfeld's unit, Mr. Millstein wanted to enter her unit to look for the insects. He knocked on the door, and when she answered, rushed past her into her unit to look for the insects. He found them and removed them. Ms. Westerfeld has now served Mr. Millstein with an amended complaint that adds a count for trespass to land based on the entry of both the insects and Mr. Millstein into her condominium. You need to find out the elements of a claim for trespass to land.
