When an oak tree or in fact almost 

 any other tree, maple, hickory, etc., 

 shows a few dead leaves, two, three, 

 or four, out on the ends of the 

 branches, cut off this little twig and 

 examine it closely. The base of the 

 leaf peteole may be of a very dark 

 brown color, this is where the borer 

 started at the axil of the leaf. Cut 

 into the twig carefully at the base of 

 the leaf and follow the dead bark 

 around the twig and downward. You 

 may not be able to find the young 

 borer for they are very small, maybe 

 one-twelfth of an inch in length. 

 Sometimes the dead twigs will be very 

 conspicuous and unsightly and then 

 again there may be only a few scat- 

 tered over the tree. Remove these 

 small twigs taking off perhaps a foot 

 of the branch, burn them and there 

 will be no further trouble. 



The adult twig pruner, a long horn 

 beetle, is supposed to be out from July 

 to September, so the size of the borers 

 will vary according to the time when 

 the eggs are laid. Sometimes one egg 

 is laid in a twig and sometimes there 

 are two or more. 



By fall the borer is nearly mature 

 and it then starts girdling the inside 

 of the twig so it will fall to the ground. 

 After eating away all but a thin layer 

 of wood or bark the borer goes back 

 up the twig plugging the tunnel behind 

 him. If the borer has calculated right 

 the next high wind will break off the 

 twig. These twigs may vary in length 

 from a foot or two to five or ten feet 

 although ten feet is probably unusual. 

 There have been a number of 

 theories as to why the insect wants to 

 cut the twig and spend the winter on 

 the ground. It may be the desire for 

 moisture although the insects will 

 come out from a dry twig. It may be 

 easier for the adult to come out 

 through the plugged tunnel at the cut- 

 off end. At any rate the final changes 

 are made while the twig is on the 

 ground, and winter being passed either 

 as a larva or pupa.
