The Piñon Ips Bark Beetle
Piñon ips is a native bark beetle that utilizes piñon pine inner bark and outer sapwood for food and to rear offspring, spending most of their lives underneath the bark of the tree. When a new generation of adults emerge from an infested tree they may re-infest the same tree or fly short distances.
