Betsy – It looks like a powderpost beetle to me. It has a smooth protonum, 
distinguishing it from other beetles that have a similar appearance.

Can you please confirm that this is a powderpost beetle? It measures 5 mm in 
length. Several were found dead beneath a woven basket that now has many exit 
holes, I’m embarrassed to admit. Thank you!
