I got a few pine logs a couple of weeks ago from a friend who cuts yard trees. Two of the worst logs were not stored in my pond until I need them but rather left to attract bugs that I use when teaching my FFA forestry students.  Ips engraver beetles seem to get in the logs within a week or two of felling, wood borers will be close behind and sometime in the next week or so I expect the ambrosia beetles to show up.  You should be able to see the blue stain fungi, the white fungi and y and h shaped galleries left by the ips, the larvae and the scooped out rear of the adult beetles, a medium sized pitch tube and maybe a wood borer.
