I recently felled, bucked, and stacked some fraxinus americana for firewood in NY state.
After being stacked for a month I noticed little piles of sawdust throughout the firewood.
I noticed 1/16" round holes throughout the bark, cutting into the bark I foiund a small black bug with dark brown wings, each wing had a light brown V pointing toward the base of the wing. The bugs were small maybe 1/8" long at most, and some larger ones (3/16") were hopping around outside the wood.
The tunnels they made did not penetrate beyond the bark.
I've done google searching, but found nothing.
Thanks for any replys,
Bill
