| 2009-11-15 | Jeff | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | The Banded Alder Borer is the one! Thank you! I understand the difficulty with identifying something without enough information. My father taught natural resources at a university and students were always bringing him little pieces of a specimen, and wishing for a name. You were remarkable with getting this on the second try. Thank you. |

| 2008-09-22 | Charles | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | I have named the moth "Tiger." I will make a small blanket for him. Thanks for the information. |
| 2008-09-22 | Steven | 9 | 8 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thank you very much. Your have helped us understand a bit better what we can expect from this boring insect. We are relieved that the adult that emerges will not be damaging our frames any further. We are of course concerned that the beetle could be escaping and infecting other pines. I think we'll be spaying our frame with borates just as a precaution, perhaps we'll get lucky and kill them. |
