Oak Timberworm Weevil (Family Brentidae)
The adult and the larval Oak Timberworm Beetle (OTW) are associated with wood; in fact, their life cycle seems to be carried out mostly within trees. The adults live under the bark of dead/dying/damaged beech, poplar, maple and oak trees where they feed on fungi, wood-eating insects, and liquid/sap exuded by the wood. Adults are attracted to wounds in bark where sap is oozing.
