pest that might have drilled holes in bark of oak
?H?P?O?M what do you think? Julie

[shaneystar2]

I would say Ship worm ...oak being what they used for making ships in the old days

Any of various wormlike marine mollusks of the genera Teredo and Bankia, having rudimentary bivalve shells with which they bore into wood, especially the submerged timbers of ships and wharves, often doing extensive damage.
