Massive outbreaks of mountain pine beetles in western North America after about 2005 have killed millions of acres of forest from New Mexico to British Columbia. [20] Bark beetles enter trees by boring holes in the bark of the tree, sometimes using the lenticels, or the pores plants use for gas exchange, to pass through the bark of the tree. [3]
Ernobius mollis, also known as the pine bark anobiid, pine knot borer, bark borer, or waney edge borer, [2] is a species of beetle in the family Ptinidae. [1] [3] [4 ...
Dendroctonus adjunctus, the roundheaded pine beetle, is a species of bark beetle in the family Curculionidae found in North America. [1] [2] [3] A parasite, the roundheaded pine beetle feeds on and eventually kills pine trees of several species in Guatemala, Mexico, and the Southern United States (New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, Colorado, Utah).
This bark beetle feeds on the developing bark on and around the root crowns of tree seedlings, [1] especially the phloem. [3] It also infests stumps , logs, and fallen trees. It prefers pines, and is a widespread pest of wild and cultivated Monterey pines ( Pinus radiata ) in particular. [ 1 ]
Ips pini, also known as the pine engraver or North American pine engraver, is a species of typical bark beetle in the family Curculionidae found primarily in North America. These beetles are subcategorized by the distinctive geographic ranges in which they are found.
Infested wood can be chipped, stripped of bark, or solarized in plastic to kill the beetles. [4] If the sounds of related but different species of beetles, such as western pine beetles and southern pine beetles (which both feed on pinyon but never live together), are played into a tree the beetles present will tear each other apart.

Corneyanus bark beetles have a “stout” and “remarkably big body,” reaching about 0.2 inches in length, researchers said. They have “relatively large” eyes, antennae with “club ...
Cucujus clavipes is known as the flat bark beetle. [1] [2] It is found throughout North America. [3] These are generally found near tree line [4] under bark [2] of dead poplar and ash trees. [5] C. clavipes are described as phloem-feeding [6] and often predators [1] of other small insects, such as wood-boring beetles, and mites. [5]
