Ips grandicollis, known generally as eastern five-spined engraver, is a species of typical bark beetle in the family Curculionidae. Other common names include the eastern five-spined ips and southern pine engraver. Ips grandicollis use trap trees of the genus Pinus as food and a habitat.
Ips grandicollis adults are small, cylindrical beetles measuring roughly 2.8 to 4.7 mm in length. Their coloration ranges from reddish-brown to black, and the elytra display a steep declivity edged with five distinct spines on each side. The body is approximately 2.5 to 2.7 times longer than wide, with the pronotum measuring 1.1 to 1.3 times its width.
Their eggs are pearly white, oblong, and approximately 1.0 mm long by 0.5 mm wide. Larvae are creamy-white, legless, C-shaped grubs reaching up to 5 mm, with reddish-brown heads under 1 mm wide. Pupae are exarate, waxy-white, roughly adult-sized, with free appendages, forming in cells at the termini of larval galleries.
