When trees die, before their bark falls away, the layer between bark and wood is a place of safety and a source of food for many beetle and their larva, ants, and other arthropods. Some of them make these really interesting tunnels that become visible when the bark does fall off.

Four colour photos looking straight on at a log from a poplar (Populus) tree that has lost its bark. The wood is crisscrossed with many squiggly tracks, some of which are bored into the wood, while others are tiny tunnels that have been built onto the wood. There are also "pinholes" where something has bored straight into the wood. The colours range from light grey through deep brown / black.see first photosee first photosee first photo

You don't hear much about borer these days. When I was a kid my Dad used to light borer bombs every time we moved to a new house, just in case.

Kmart are bringing back the borer, inside some of their bamboo products. This is not desirable so please check any wooden products purchased from Kmart. If you see sawdust beside a little hole, that means your borer has already exited and is looking for somewhere comfy to lay its eggs.
