Hey folks- was splitting some wood earlier and this is what I found. Looks like a perfect 1/4" hole for entry then a close resemblence of a 'Z' down thru the trunk. What kind of an insect did this? The much hated Bark Beetle? Seems like a good deal of saw dust in there too.........

Looks like a carpenter bee.

Could be carpenter ant too.
