Ivory Marked Beetle
Characteristics: The defining ivory spots on the top of this beetle come in pairs. They are usually found in forests or lumberyards.
Larvae bore deep into heartwood of a tree, destroying it. Trees such as oak, maple, hickory and ash are popular sites for larval infestation. Sometimes this wood is used as firewood so adults are seen inside homes.
Adults eat leaves and twigs.
