Large Pine-shoot Beetle
Tomicus piniperda
(Linnaeus, 1758)  |
||
| Almost certainly under-recorded in Nottinghamshire and personally thought to be widespread in the forested areas of the county. The larval feeding signs and exit holes on standing old trees and the damage caused to young Pines, are probably more commonly seen than the number of times the adult beetle has been recorded to date. There are recent records from Centre Parcs, Budby South Forest and Clumber Park. Grateful thanks go to Nick and Samantha Brownley, who provided the specimens below. | ||
