Today’s I was clearing away some moss from the base of my Japanese white pine and found some for these critters
I removed all the ones I could find about a dozen or so
Do I need to spray something to stop them returning

Not sure what that is but I have a simple rule with unknown bugs.

I think that’s a borer… it will eat the wood and kill the plant if you don’t control them… check the trunk for holes and rotten wood
