what a meandering muncher the larvae must be..

Incredible, they do such a lot of damage. Anyhow - it's a great image you captured here... Irene

Fascinating capture of the tunnels! Excellent lighting in this abstract image! V

I guess the beetle ring-barks the trees, not good.

Too bad they are so destructive. Nice image Christine.

Well, they make a fascinating pattern, but it would be better if they took their art elsewhere. Excellent and informative capture, Christine. V.
