This bug was responsible for the death of many mature Ash trees several years ago. I had our tree treated by reputable professionals and a certified arborist and were still forced to cut it down.
The "look" of the damage is very similiar the Emerald Ash Borer.

The larvae of this beetle eats the sapwood of Ash and similar hardwood trees, but I've not heard of an infestation that harms individual trees or groves.
Found throughout the eastern half of North America, the adults fly from March through October.
They can be found in fallen or decaying wood.
