Question and Compliment
Do you know what species of birch tree were they on?

Also, the photos in this series are really nice. Definitely the best lymexylid pics that I've ever seen anywhere.

Thanks Frank
I'm not sure which species of birch they were on, but it was the white birch type about 10 inches in diameter, with smooth bark.
