Tiny C-shaped larvae - Scolytus multistriatus

Tiny C-shaped larvae - Scolytus multistriatus
Nashua, Hillsborough County, New Hampshire, USA
March 31, 2006
Size: 2 - 3 mm
I picked a couple-dozen of these tiny larvae out of bark underlayers on a small-diameter (perhaps just over an inch) dead branch from a deciduous tree. I at first thought they were long*horned beetle larvae, still C-shaped from having recently hatched from eggs. However, under magnification I'm not so sure. They could be ano*biids.
