Saw a "dark" area on a pecan tree in the front yard...

Thought maybe an owl or something...

Got closer...
WTF?




There's another slab or two on the backside of the same tree...
None elsewhere, so far...

I've had them in branches, spent some fine summer evenings using up my stock of birdshot on 'em...

When we run out of grackles, of course!

Whatever you do, don't eat them.  They're poisonous.

This.

They may look more familiar once they are on fire.

Bad advice, they taste nothing like walnuts and the banana bread ended up far too moist.

In traditional arfcom fashion, the best way to kill those bastards is with fire.

Maybe 2/1 gas diesel mix in a pump sprayer will do the trick.

Where I live, fire suppression is spotty, at best...

I sprayed 'em with some insecticide...

I may have to try the fire thing in the next day or so if no joy...
