I have seen cigarette beetle larvae
Dee - I have seen cigarette beetle larvae eat glued furniture pieces. They
just eat the glue, not the wood. If it's hide glue, that might explain carpet
beetles, because I've seen that before. Tom -Original Message-

We also just noticed today that the damage you attributed to the powderpost
beetles seems to correlate with areas where there had been old glue (brittle
and brownish, so appears to be a hide glue). Perhaps there was a protein
attraction at play as well as moisture?
