	Beetle exit holes (E) and where eggs are laid (O) on a maple tree.	Sawdust from beetles chewing their way out of a tree.
	The Asian longhorned beetle is extremely destructive.  The damage is caused by beetle larvae which burrow deep within a tree to feed on its food and water conducting vessels.  Continued feeding causes structural defects and eventually kills the life-sustaining cambial layer by girdling.  Mature beetles then burrow out of the tree leaving holes the diameter of ball-point pens.  Heavy Asian Longhorned Beetle infestations can kill otherwise healthy adult trees.
