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
