Try Googling (Google Images) for "bark beetle" and the name of the tree, if you know it.<BR/><BR/>Among the assorted photos of beetles, there will be a few samples of galleries.

We need a super-macro for the bugs and buds under our noses, a telephoto for those birds across the lake, a lighting system for those dark crannies where the mushrooms grow, a tripod to hold everything steady -- and a truck to carry it around with us!<BR/><BR/>Presents -- What?
