Found under bark of an approx. 30-inch-diameter pine that was uprooted but hung up at a steep angle in some other large pines. I tend to think these are cler*id larvae. Nearly all were found within three feet of the ground and most were within a foot of the ground, I'm guessing because of the greater moisture there.

Some of these larvae exhibited a definite bluish hue in the normally light-colored areas. This was especialy noticeable when they rolled over and exposed their undersides. The tree had evidence of great scol*ytine bor*er activity under the bark and many tiny, elongate, dead, black weev*ils were under the bark as well.
