Granulate Ambrosia Beetle
Xylosandrus crassiusculus
Adult granulate ambrosia beetles inhabit wooded areas, especially attacking stressed, damaged, or nursery-grown trees. Females bore into trunks and branches, cultivating symbiotic ambrosia fungi that feed their young. Despite its tiny size, this beetle is an important invasive pest in many regions outside its native range.
