Sometimes you find decorative patterns under the bark of a tree.
They are made by little bugs eating the tree.

Let's see what we can find, I'll start.

Correct.

These patterns pop up every now and then in the forest.
I just need to make new trials in photographing them.
Somehow they remind me of fractals...

Fascinating subject.
That's a beauty.

It's a holder I made for my coloured micro ink pens

As poster says the patterns are many and varied

That's a really nice item.
Partly bug-made, partly man-made.
It's unique. I like it a lot.

Thanks. :-)
I too have been fascinated by the action of insects and organisms on wood.
I'd often incorporate some aspect of that in furniture or boxes but cautious not to give idea of a rotting, degrading piece of timber that would self destruct6

That looks interesting.
There has been quite a number of bugs.
It almost looks like a man-made carving.

A few days ago I found this pattern in a fallen birch.
I assume that this was done by Scolytus ratzeburgi.
