Abstract
The striped ambrosia beetle, Trypodendron lineatum (Olivier) (Coleoptera: Scolytidae), is one of nature’s recyclers.10 Along with other ambrosia beetles, its ecological niche is to locate and infest dead and dying timber. It is a pioneer in the degradation process, exploiting this renewed habitat each spring, and leaving it within months to be further degraded by saprophytic fungi and other wood-infesting insects.
