Pine Engraver Beetles in East Texas
http://txforestservice.tamu.edu/forestry_education/insects_and_diseases/insects/ips_bark_beetles/10-01a-00.htm
Engraver beetles usually breed harmlessly in fresh logging debris and weakened trees and do not kill a significant number of pine trees to be considered a major pest. However, when trees are weakened or stressed due to drought or other conditions, engraver beetles may attack and kill a significant number of trees.
