Native Elm Bark Beetle
Hylurgopinus rufipes
Adult native elm bark beetles inhabit stressed, dying, or recently cut elm trees, where they tunnel beneath the bark. They feed and breed in the inner bark, with adults emerging to fly between suitable trees. This species is an important vector of the fungus responsible for Dutch elm disease.
