The red turpentine beetle (Dendroctonus valens LeConte) is the largest and most widely distributed bark beetle in North America. It belongs to a group of beetles that characteristically mine between the bark and the wood of trees. The red turpentine beetle is a common pest of forest, shade, and park trees of pole size or larger. It has been recorded from at least 40 species of domestic and foreign conifers. Yet, despite the abundance and wide distribution of this beetle, outbreaks have not been extensive or severe. The beetle has been found most frequently in individual trees or in groups of trees in localized areas. Pines are the most common host by far.
