No actually you just killed off a Mating Bundle of perfectly harmless bark beetles that eat the mites and insect larvae that destroy your garden maybe you might want to check your facts before you go spraying pesticides everywhere taking the lives of innocent little tree dwellers that would have helped your garden thrive. It's stories like this that make a shamans heart ache. Please Be nice to Great spirits little messengers. And stop poisoning our planet....Wonder how much of that spray wafted in the wind and poisoned some honey bees..or flowers they feed on

Today our Grandkids found a 4" pile of these critters right across our driveway from our garden. I got pretty proactive, with a full can of wasp and hornet spray..the few that lived are on their backs wiggling their 3 pairs of legs. Are they a threat to our garden?

Thanks..Joey Kubesch-Peru IN..north central part of the state
