Borings Extruded by Granulate Ambrosia Beetles? - Xylosandrus crassiusculus
Peachtree Corners, Gwinnett County, Georgia, USA
June 26, 2017
I did not observe/ photograph the actual beetles but the toothpick-like projections on this stump seem to match online images depicted as borings extruded by invasive Granulate Ambrosia Beetles (formerly aka Asian Ambrosia Beetles) (Xylosandrus crassiusculus).
