3. I love them!

I always listen for them in the spring. Once upon a time I lived in a cabin with several Siberian Elm trees that were infested with bark beetles. The summer after I moved in I landscaped the whole yard, they showed up and stayed for several weeks so they were there with me while I worked the yard all day. The group was huge, I got to watch their mating rituals in the trees, it's like the cartoons of old!, and I heard their little tweets in my ears at night when I fell asleep. It was a great summer, they ate every last beetle, I never saw another after that during the five years I lived there.
