Paul Posted May 15, 1999 Report Share Posted May 15, 1999 Hi everyone I got a tree a few months ago,and I am a bit worried about small bugs running on it. They are brownish,about 1 and a half mm long,a small head and don't move unless I touch them. Can anyone tell me if they are going to lay worms into my wood? Thanks,Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorothy Posted May 16, 1999 Report Share Posted May 16, 1999 Is your tree hardwood or softwood? If these are pine beetles, I don't know of a cure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted May 19, 1999 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 1999 Hi My wood is English sycamore,it was cut in feruary 99. I put three of the beetles in a jar with a bit of wood and they all climbed on it. I found drawings of woodworm beetles,none of them looks like mine.Mine have a tiny head compared to the body,and the body is sort of round shaped,maybe 3/4 mm diameter. thanks for your interest.
