In addition, you can get information about your request, and you can follow the progress of its current state. If your application was not approved, it had probably been because it was impossible to identify the damage based on the sent photos or because the application does not address our topic - determining the pests of trees and shrubs.

Question

Answer

Hello Fran. For sure it is genus Scolytus. In our conditions (Slovakia) very common on plums is Scolytus rugulosus (very small) or S. mali (much bigger). The differences betwen them you can see in our education video here https://youtu.be/i7rhrl33wEM. From your photo I am not able to determine which species it is. All the best, Juraj.

Question

Answer

Hello,this type of damage is caused by species of the genus Tomicus. It is either Tomicus piniperda or Tomicus minor. The beetles are similar. They damage the twigs with their maturation feeding. The larvae live under the bark of dying or damaged (broken) pine trees. Removal or burning of dying and damaged pine trees is used as protection. Best regards Jozef Vakula

Question

The larvae were found on a cut piece of wood. Thank you!

Answer

Hello Fran. According to the body shape of the larvae it belongs to Cerambycidae family. It could be several cerambycid species but we are not sure which one it is. If you will see the imago then make a picture and send another request. All the best, Juraj.
