Borer Beetle
The Borer Beetle is a type of insect known for its wood-boring habits. These beetles belong to various families, including Cerambycidae and Buprestidae, and are often found in forests and wooded areas. They lay their eggs in or on trees, and the larvae tunnel into the wood, causing damage to the host plant.
Borer beetles can affect both living trees and timber products, leading to economic losses in the forestry and construction industries. Some species are considered pests, while others play a role in the ecosystem by helping to decompose dead wood. Proper management is essential to mitigate their impact.
