| Resource Description
|
| BARK (PINE) BEETLE LIFE CYCLE DISPLAY KIT. Throughout North America, bark beetles, also referred to as pine beetles, have destroyed literally millions of acres of valuable forestland. When stressed by drought, trees like pines become vulnerable. Once killed by the beetle, the trees then dry out and eventually topple. This timely demonstration kit explains the life cycle of the bark beetle and includes a heat-sterilized section of pine with the bark chipped away to show beetle tunnels. Also shows the wood stain left by the blue-stain fungi also brought by this beetle. This display also includes a color photo of live beetles on a girdled pine branch along with a reference sheet describing the life cycle of this insect. Grades 5-12. #T-18079.
