Hello, The attached photos show a pest found inside a framed painting. I'd appreciate assistance ID-ing this bug, to determine if it may have been feeding or laying eggs within the wooden stretcher/frame and/or the canvas. Specimen is most likely from NE United States, and is approximately 5mm long (without antennae); antennae are approx 4mm long.
