We have just received a shipment of drawings and on opening the crate we
discovered several dead specimens of the beetle shown in the attached photos.
Beneath the layers of drawings is an old wooden architectural fragment that the
beetles have been tunnelling through with great enthusiasm. There are huge
amounts of frass.
We sealed the wrapped the crate in plastic sheeting , and plan to have it
treated by anoxia with CO2.
What kind of beetle is this? We don't have a lot of experience with
wood-boring insects.
Thanks for your help.
