Here in Alaska, we are plagued by an insidious creature called a
"Spruce Beetle". I know they have made their way to Washington state,
wonder if they made it to Texas as well? If so, look out, and dont
invest any time or energy into landscaping with evergreens! From your
description, it sure sounds like the spruce beetle attack we have here!
