Extract

Studies of the mountain pine beetle by DeLeon (1934), Evenden et al. (1943), Hopping and Mathers (1945), have shown that females frequently establish more than one egg gallery each season, Recent studies by the author indicate that females commonly leave their first egg galleries after a period of 2-3 weeks and fly to another tree where the second egg galleries are established.
