Best Answer

Bark beetles are examples of insects that destroy plants.

Specifically, a bark beetle gets under the outer protective bark of a woody plant. Bark beetles therefore manage to access a shrub's or tree's dead and living tissue. That access spells the beginning of the end for the woody plant in question since detection often occurs too late for appropriate treatment.
