About Enaphalodes rufulus (Haldeman, 1847)
The Enaphalodes rufulus (Haldeman, 1847), commonly known as the Red Oak Borer, can be identified by several key attack indicators. Infested trees show crescent-shaped holes on the bark surface, each approximately 0.1 inches (3 mm) long. Feeding galleries created by late instar larvae are teardrop-shaped and relatively large. When adults exit the host tree, they leave behind large circular holes.
