Pigeon Horntails
Dear Curious Golfer,
These are Pigeon Horntails, a species of Wood Wasp. The female Pigeon Horntail lays eggs in dead or dying deciduous trees, and the larvae bore in the wood, feeding as they bore. According to BugGuide: “hosts include beech, elm, hickory, maple, oak, poplar, apple, pear, sycamore, and hackberry.”
