Pine Beetles

Southern Pine Beetle Destructible Insects
The Bark Beetle is known for its ability to bore into the tree and then lay eggs and reproduce. Some of these species attack and kill trees. The female adult beetle bores holes into the tree’s bark and begins constructing a gallery.

During this process, the beetle will mate and the females will lay their eggs. The females continue to make their S curve gallery in order to create room for the rest of the beetles to lay all of their eggs.
