Hi, is this a type of click beetle ? I had one pest guy say it was borer and another say it’s too big for borer and might be desjardins beetle.

Any ideas on identifying this tree ?
I thought it might be a nootkatensis but I had a comment that it looked more like a lawsoniana as the cones had points on them which nootka's dont.

Something...Observer
rhysspinnerDescription
Any ideas on this one. The cones look quite distinctive, sprays are flat I assumed it was a chamaecyparis but I can't work it out. It is a planted tree and someone had suggested Libocedrus plumosa but the bark on this one wasnt particularly stringy, certainly not red like L. Plumosa. Also L. Plumosa doesn't have flat sprays as far as I have been able to tell.

I assume this is a chamaecyparis lawsoniana but there doesn't seem to be the distinctive white crosses on the underside of the leaves. Have i got this one wrong or are the white crosses sometimes not obvious?
