I started hauling a beech that a friend had cut down. It's in pretty good shape for a beech, it seems only the center was rotted a little way up.
In the process of splitting it, I found this monster
Crappy cell phone pics but it's all I've got. It was burrowed into pretty solid wood, it's about 2" long, and the stinger on the tail was about 1/2" long.
In another section of wood that was all soft and dirtlike, I found a lone stinger.
The biggest round from the tree is only about 20" but damn that stuff seems heavy when it's just cut!
