Yes, they hurt a lot
Pine adelgids are a natural predator of the Eastern white pine. Heavy infestations on branches of pines will cause stunted growth. This pest usually does not attack smaller trees. Lady beetles are another natural predator.

Pine needles are about 3 inches long
The water scavenger beetle's predator are birds and fish.
No. The beetle does not turn the tree blue.
There doesn't seem to be any chemical means of controlling pine shoot beetles. Nothing effective has been developed yet. In Europe, where the beetle is native, the practice of debarking of cut timber as soon as trees are felled seems to help.The pine shoot beetle does have at least one predator, Thanasimus formicarius Linnacus (TfL). TfL beetles feed on pine shoot beetles and each can consume at several each day. The problem with treating the infestation in the US with the pine shoot beetles natural enemy is the introduction of yet another alien species.The only effective course of action in the US other than the timing of debarking the Europeans use is the quarantine of affected tree varieties from state to state transport, at least until a more effective means of treatment can be established.

Wip spiders. they are the altimet predator of the caves.
the connection is that moutain pine beetles kill trees and so do wildfires
They have teeth and have to chew then slowly diguest like a human.
Pine bark beetles produce a distinctive sound that can be described as a series of rhythmic "clicking" or "tapping" noises. This sound is primarily created when the beetles tunnel through the bark of trees, as they scrape and chew the wood. The noise may vary depending on the size of the infestation and the type of tree affected. In addition to the sound, the presence of pine bark beetles can often be detected by the accumulation of frass (beetle excrement) and the discoloration of the tree's bark.
Biological amplification may cause beetles and other scavengers to adapt to the pesticides. This can also cause the predator of beetles to become adapted and possibly immune to pesticides.
