Bupresttoae 

 The Flat-headed or Metallic Wood-borers 



The larvae live beneath the bark of trees which are just 

 beginning to decay and are usually the first to attack a tree 

 that in some way has lost its vitality. They are best taken on 

 stumps, loi-s, and stacks of cord wood, in open places where 

 they repair to sun themselves, especially in the morning. 

 Later in the season the best method is beating isolated trees.
