The bark beetle (wood boring beetle) can help our forests by thinning out trees in spots that are too thick with trees. If it kills the tree our forest service will cut it down. Therefore thinning the forest.

Bark Beetles
in tree bark
The bark beetle (wood boring beetle) hurts our forest by killing the trees. It will dig into the wood, and it will lay it's eggs. If you see a tree with sap coming out of it that usually means it has been attacked by the beetle.

A bark beetle is any of various beetles of the subfamily Scolytinae, many of which reproduce in the inner bark of trees.
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.
Longhorn beetles and their larvae eat dead or decaying bark.
Dutch Elm disease is a tree disease that is spread by beetles. It is caused by a fungus carried by elm bark beetles, which feed on the bark of elm trees, introducing the disease into the tree's vascular system.
Dead or decaying bark.
