To me, it looks like a beetle (based on structure and the antennae). It is possibly a Powderpost Beetle<https://entomology.ca.uky.edu/ef616>.

I thought it could be a potential wood boring insect but cannot find a good resemblance between the wood boring insects. I hope you can lead me on a way to know if this one is to worry about or not. The other picture is of a spiderweb, underneath there are white droplets does any of you know what that is? Is it spider poop, It looks way to white for that to me? Hope you can help, With kind regards, Mike van der Steenhoven Coördinator Collectieveiligheid +31 (0) 703023497 +31 (0) 6 21823879 [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Mauritshuis Koninklijk Kabinet van Schilderijen Royal Picture Gallery [PotterKijkers - De stier onder de loep]<http://mauritshuis.nl/destier> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MuseumPests" group.
