A belated BIG thank you for the information and id. Glad to hear that they
are likely harmless, although an alarming number of them fled the pole once
disturbed. As the cooler months have arrived, I was expecting to find
hibernating beasts in the pole, all of them I recognized except this one.
Claire,
The creatures you imaged are adult bugs that appear consistent with those of
the family miridae. I anticipate these merely were hiding within cracks or
crevices of the cedar pole, and not infesting or damaging the item. The
creature you listed is a beetle. I think you might breath a
know what is going on at this point.

It's a weevil (a curculionid), not a ground beetle (a carabid).
