New one too me.  Makes an Emerald Ash borer look pretty lame.

Woah, that's an alien that I've never been introduced to before, and you just threw that out there like they are as common as a junebug.    

Knock it off!

I’ve always seen a few branches here and there over the years but this year I have a bunch of em.  I’ll burn the kindling this weekend to hopefully knock them back some.

Didn't know those things existed.

I'll have to start studying the sticks in my yard from now on.   I assumed that they just broke off in the wind, but maybe not.   Interesting.

It's wild.  They bevel the end of a twig like a pipe hog.
