This will be a fun thread, but in fact, these beetles are very destructive. Years ago I was up in Idaho and there were dead trees all over the place,just standing there with the bark all dropping, or dropped, off.

I asked what killed all these trees, my Idaho friends told me "bark beetles".

These things can wipe out millions of trees. That being said, Reid is the scum of the earth!

Because of bark beetles and fires, I have enough firewood to last me the next twenty years. Pinyons have been especially hard hit.

“This will be a fun thread, but in fact, these beetles are very destructive.”

Agreed. They have been really hard on Alaska.
