Chewing away at the fibers….yes they do! Very nice!

Don't remember reading about bark beetles in a haiku before, so this is refreshing to see them appear now.
Enjoyed your haiku.

I also appreciate the uniqueness of "bark beetles",…and the regionally-specific Ponderosa pine, …and then the great juxtaposition — great haiku!
