    I doubt it would actually be a stethoscope then though. Maybe something to gather the sap or to see below the bark but a stethoscope wouldn’t help with that. (I’m not a biologist but I know that stethoscopes are used to make it easier to listen to things and likely require a proper contact which one wouldn’t get on bark.)

      You could search for insects under the bark using the stethoscope, like woodpeckers do.
