The missing pine trees in our back yard left a lot of trash exposed. In the
process of cleaning up ... I had to break apart pieces of the old cherry tree
that had been decaying for at least 6 years (
planting new tree).
In the process, I encountered several strange bugs and larvae ...

Horned passalus beetle - more black in real-life

Horned passalus larvae ... more gross in real life

These things were pretty harmless ... I am a bit bummed to see them go.
Was the cause of the decaying tree the larva or the bug?
