Boring Insect/Sapsucker?

[9th year rookie]

I've found a crab apple with multiple rows of horizontal holes in the bark.
I tried to post a couple pics but i rec'd error that my pic files exceed size ...

If the holes are aligned across the trunk and slightly "ragged" on the outer edges you have sapsucker damage.

Sapsuckers are one of the 3 pests in the attached story. hope the pic is useful; can you post one?

What I do for posting pictures is to open them in Paint, select Image, then select Skew/Stretch. For size reduction I opt for 25% each on horizontal and vertical. Then save.

This reduces them to a size that will be accepted by the forum and still be large enough for us to view.

Good luck.

sorry for taking so long
I'd rather be in a tree than on a computer.

That is Sapsucker damage. Not very severe...
