Beetle ID

Fijnaart, May 26 2014
it could be alot of things Vc but first glance I thought elm bark beetle and think i may be right. It carries what we know as Dutch Elm disease killing most English elm tees in it's wake.
Originally a North American species the beetle arrived in wood from the Netherlands hence our calling it Dutch Elm rather than just Elm beetle.
 
not an elm bark beetle, but it is the Phyllopertha horticola (rozenkever in dutch).
