The pine shoot beetle, Tomicus piniperda, (PSB) is a new forest pest that was originally detected in New England in New Hampshire and Vermont in 1999. This pest is a bark beetle which attacks and injures hard pines, (in our area primarily red, jack, and Scots pines) but can also breed in eastern white pine. It was first collected in Maine in northern Oxford County in 2000. It was recorded again in Adamstown in 2001, and in early December USDA notified the Maine Forest Service that a second specimen trapped in Rangeley in May also had just been identified.

Или по-описателното \"бръмбар по боровите филизи\", но смятам, че за специалистите би звучало доста по-тромаво.
