Boridae
The Boridae are a small family of beetles with no vernacular common name, though recent authors have coined the name conifer bark beetles. They feed on decaying cambium and require forests with standing dead trees and with intensive forest management some species have become rare and threatened.[1]

gollark: That's an odd way to pass arguments which should probably be a table.
gollark: Yes they are. It would be fiddly, but possible.
