Image Subject Name Scientific Name Description
0007078 red oak borer Enaphalodes rufulus A mating pair
0007077 red oak borer Enaphalodes rufulus When adult red oak borers begin to emerge in late June, populations are so high that it is easy to find mating pairs on understory vegetation and on the trunks of oak trees.
1274051 sawyer beetles Monochamus spp. Feeding under the bark of a loblolly pine tree killed by pine engraver beetles
3227022 long-horned beetles large larva found on green ash tree
0007080 red oak borer Enaphalodes rufulus Larval tunnels of the red oak borer rendered oak lumber basically unusable.
0007076 red oak borer Enaphalodes rufulus It is at outbreak levels in the area and characteristic signs of attack include "wet spots" where young larva are feeding under the bark.
0007068 twig girdler Oncideres cingulata The adults will feed or chew on the bark of severed branches causing characteristic "scratch" marks on the twigs.
2109021 huisache girdler Oncideres pustulata
0007075 red oak borer Enaphalodes rufulus Red oak mortality has been observed for the past several years (2001). Drought, shallow soils, hypoxylon canker, certain insects, and other factors have lead to this decline complex.
0007066 twig girdler Oncideres cingulata Pencil-sized twigs of pecan, hickory, elm, and other tree species are commonly girdled in the fall. It is not unusual to see branches on the ground under attacked trees or to see broken branch "flags" hanging from the crown.
0007067 twig girdler Oncideres cingulata By circling the branch many times, the adult female will cut the branch with a very neat and precise cut. The cuts are so unique that it is easy to tell when a twig girdler has visited the tree.
0007079 red oak borer Enaphalodes rufulus Frass associated with the emergence of adult borers often collects on the leaves of understory vegetation.
