Hello All -

Not fruit-related, but I suspect this group might be able to help...

I received some large logs of what I believe is Elm over the winter.  
Yesterday while walking the yard, I found them teeming with what I 
believe to be adult borers of some kind, but I've been unable to 
positiviely identify them.  They're black with yellow markings, and 
range in size from about 1/4" to maybe 3/4" long.  Here's a photo of 
one:

Anyone have an idea of what type of borer this is?  They're somewhat 
similar to Locust and Poplar borers but not quite identical.

Thanks!
