    • 2022 May 14, Ted C. MacRae, Cupressaceae‎[1]:
      The branch was obviously infested and showed a few emergence holes indicative of both buprestids and cerambycids, and when I broke into it I found two unemerged adult Agrilus (different species), which caused me to cut and bundle the branch to being back for rearing.
