Bark beetlesMany species of bark beetle choose dead or rotting wood to reproduce in, but several species (including the mountain pine beetle of western North America) are known to attack and kill live trees. Whole stands of forest can be destroyed if bark beetle numbers get out of control. The bugs can also be carriers of disease, as is the case with the American elm bark beetle which transmits Dutch elm disease.

I logged a forest that was being devasted by the bark beetle.However the environmentalists are stopping that sort of logging allowing the bark beetle to thrive.
I live in Ohio and the Ash Borrer is a very destructive bug that will kill an Ash tree in no time.
You need to learn the difference between insects and animals.
Insects ARE animals! They are members of the Kingdom Animalia, just as mammals, avians, fish, etc are.
