Insect eating rings around Berry canes

Naw, it looks more like a lightening bug.

But the damage is really characteristic of the cane borer, and I don’t think it looks like anything else. Even if you don’t see the beetles, you should be treating for them. That means checking for damage regularly and removing damaged canes quickly, and either burning them or disposing of them somewhere where they can’t get back to your plants.
