The white, legless, fleshy grubs of this beetle fre- quently cause serious injury by running transverse burrows just beneath the bark. The stout, black beetles, about 1 inch long, with bright yellow markings, occur from June to August. They deposit eggs in the bark, and these places become more apparent later through sap flowing from the living tissues gnawed by the grub and producing a discoloration around the wound.

They deposit eggs in the bark, and these places become more apparent later through sap flowing from the living tissues gnawed by the grub and producing a discoloration around the wound. Treatment: burn badly infested trees. Search for places where eggs have been deposited and dig out the young borers in the fall. Protect trees with carbolic soap wash from June to August. 35 Maple tree pruner ( E 1 a p h i- dion villosum).
