Karen -
 
Many years ago, I had the same kind of infestation in the frames of old 
paintings shipped from Florence to the Italian Consulate here in Philadelphia.  
I've also run into them - a large infestation of"bookworms" in a library in 
Israel.  Anobium punctatum is a fairly common wood-boring beetle in Europe.  
I've run into it only once here in the U.S. - an infestation in a bedroom floor 
of an historic building in Newport, R.I.

By the way, these hungry wood borers have come from a shipment from Florence,

Anobiidae, possibly Oligomerus. Can you tell us what length the beetles are?

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.

The body is just a shade less than 5 mm. long, the wings extending beyond the 
body a bit.
