Their bodies are flat when they live under tree bark and cylindrical, when they bore into the interior of the tree. Some species specialize in dead wood. Heartwood eating larvae, such as the old-house borer (Hylotrupes bajulus), can cause major damage to the wooden structures of buildings and are often noticed too late. The duration of the larval period depends on the quality and nutrie...
