trees, Pine trees can be weakened by bark beetles, or

What do they look like?
The beetles spend most of their time underneath cover of the bark
and
are rarely seen. Pine bark beetles may have infested your tree if
you note that the tree has needles around the crown which have
yellowed, or gradually gone from yellow to a brownish or reddish
orange. You may also note small holes within the body of the tree
trunk or pitch around those holes.
How do they hatch
The egg to adult stages ranges average from 26 to 54
days. The beetles may have as few as three generations and as many
as seven generations in Texas. The beetles stay over winter inside
trees at all stages. In the spring when the dogwoods bloom, adults
begin to fly. Females land on host trees, 2 - 9 m off the ground,
bore through the bark.
They produce a pheromone that attracts males and females together to attack the tree en mass. Females begin building egg galleries. Mating takes place in the gallery followed by female egg laying.
