Looking for rotten hardwood, preferably oak or sycamore

[aspenentomology]

I need rotten hardwood for beetle larvae. I would collect it myself, but I'm not very good identifying logs and we have lots of pine here, so I wouldn't want to risk it. I'd prefer if you're fairly certain it's oak or sycamore. Please message me if you can sell it to me, thanks.

If you have Orin's Ultimate Guide, I think it says somewhere in the stag section that coniferous logs are easy to distinguish from hardwoods because they have branches at 45 degree angles. My memory is blurry, though; it could be the other way round.

Yeah, I do. I hadn't read that part of it, thanks.
