Ladies and Gentlemen, The Ambrosia Beetle

Springtime is feasting time for this pesky critter, and according to the USDA, they feed mainly on stressed, dying, or even dead trees. They are incredibly invasive. All over New York State, you might not see the beetles, but you easily could see the devastation they leave behind.

The Ambrosia Beetle is a small cylinder-shaped, 1/8- 3/16 inch long insect. Typically, they will be reddish-brown and in some cases completely black.

As the ambrosia beetle bored through the trees' wood, you'll see sawdust at the base of the tree along with small cylindrical items exiting from the bark.
