Cara,
The form of the antennae and other characteristics are reminiscent of some of 
the silvanids, particularly Uleiota spp. I'd be more confident if I saw the 
specimen directly.
I'd be interested in learning the suggestions of others.

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.
