Female carpenter bees will leave a pheromone in the holes which will attract
more females to nest(make more holes). Holes need to be filled with filler or
epoxy to eliminate that issues. If That is too aggressive for the object you
can mask the pheromone inside the hole by swabbing with white vinegar. If they
can feel the grain in the wood( no paint or clear coat/thin paint or clear
coat) this will be an ongoing problem if left outside. JTV

The misc..jpg appears to show the "pupal wing" of a bee, which as (Joel and
Stephan have indicated) is likely to be the culprit. The adult.jpg shows a moth
which is probably not associated with the bee problem. I can't tell what the
species is, so don't know whether it may represent another problem (affecting
wool or horsehair elements in the carriage).

Joel,
We did see holes that match your description. They seemed to line up with the
saw dust piles as well.
Thanks,
Melanie

Have you looked for larger holes the size of your pinkie perfectly round like
carpenter bee holes? People usually look for very tiny holes first. JTV

Hello,
We’ve noticed sawdust and remnants underneath one of our wood paneled railroad
cars. Unfortunately, we haven’t located any boring holes/exit holes.
Photographed are samples of an adult and what appears to be larvae or excrement
(we are unsure).
The railroad car was moved to Sacramento, CA at the beginning of the year and
there was no activity at the time. This is a recent development.
Please let me know if anyone can help identify. Thanks in advance!
Thanks,
Melanie
