Dear All,
   So far the emerging picture re O. fagi reminds me of the story of
the several blind men and their differing conclusions about what an
elephant is.
   A list of where in NS the presence of this beetle has been verified
without doubt might be helpful in clearing away some of this fog.
   I am now fairly convinced that none of the Beech, which I have
seen, have experienced effective encounters with this beetle. And this
applies especially to the relatively small Beech in North Alton where
many leaves can be examined at close range as opposed to > 100' up.
Dave, Kentville
