Hundreds of beatles at base of trees. Sprayed this morning with insecticide.
Commentary
Thank you for your report! Looks like the tree was damaged previously. The insects in your photo are Flat bugs (family Aradidae), which are often common under the bark of decaying trees. The bugs did not cause the damage to the tree.
