Description of specimen

I’ve been keeping an eye on ash trees for the D shaped holes I learned about online. I found something that might be them. Picture attached.

Commentary

Thank you for your report! That does not appear to be EAB damage. Look for splitting bark over S-shaped galleries as well as the D-shaped exit holes on ash trees. Thanks for being on the lookout!
