m! Do you know my name? I live in B. C. I love living here because you have just what I love to devour! I am not well liked because I turn what is big, tall, green and alive, to red and eventually a dull, weak and dying grey. Enough clues. Guess my name.

This insect distroys B.C. trees.
The Mountain Pine Beetles is about the size of a grain of rice. The Mountain Pine Beetle cuts off the flow of food for the tree causing the tree to starve to death. When an area is attacked by Mountain Pine Beetles the area looks red.

It is a mountain pine beetle. This kind of beetle inhales pines. It kills the trees by boring through the bark into the phloem layer when it feeds on this phloem layer and lays its eggs there.

The Mountain Pine Beetle transmits a fungus that stains a trees sapwood blue. The life span of an individual Mountain Pine Beetle is about one year.
The woodpecker is one of the predators of the beetle. The cold weather can kill the beetles too. But the temperature has to be under -35 Celsius or -40 Celsius for several days in a row.
The Mountain Pine Beetle, also known as Dendroctonus Ponderosae Hopkins, enters the bark of a Pine and feeds on it. It is a member of a group of beetles known as the Bark Beetles. The Mountain Pine beetle completes its entire life cycle underneath the bark then the adult comes out to attack new trees. Its destruction alters the eco-system.
from Isaac
The pine beetle has turned one-quarter of BC's pine forests brown.
It is the Mountain Pine Beetle and it is causing a lot of problems for our forest industry. It lays its eggs under the bark of the pine tree.
