I have a big pecan limb all cut up and stashed in my garage. I have not burned thru all of last years yet so the new stash has mostly gone unattended.
I noticed some sawdust in the pile but really didn't give it much thought. It is not uncommon to have worms in the wood.
I decided to split some of the pecan to see if I could get a look at the worms. Much to my suprise I find that I have a rather large amount of bettle larve in my pecan. These things are about the size, shape and appearance of a grub worm.
I split a 6" long pc of limb about 5" in diameter and I dug out 5 of these larve. They are making dust out of my pecan wood from the inside out. I am going to chunk a bunch of it tomorrow and get all the worms out that I can.
The one one the axe handle had to be at least 1" long.
