Adults emerge in the mid to late summer months.
Mating occurs, and females first chew cavities in the bark of the tree or branch and then turn around and lay an egg in the cavity and cover with a cement secretion. Eggs hatch and young larvae bore into the sappy, green inner bark and probably continue to feed and grow under the bark for several months. Upon growing, mature larvae bore into the heartwood and create large, winding galleries in the inner wood. A period of winter diapause probably takes place. Emerging adults chew their way out of the wood, thus creating the large circular exit holes and lots of heavy, coarse wood fibers on the ground.
