It appears as though it may be part of the puparium of a moth or carpenter ant. The wood damage and the attendant pellets resemble those produced by wood infesting anobiid beetles (Coleoptera: Anobiidae). I suppose there is an outside chance that the pellets may be those of a drywood termite, but I don't think so. Jeffrey Tucker, BCE Entomology Associates, Inc. P.O.
