        Roberta -
         
        It sure looks like Anobium punctatum, the furniture beetle.
It's a common wood destroying "powder post beetle" in Europe.

        Hello,

        I have recently discovered this beetle near wooden objects in
our
        collection with small, round flight holes and powder like frass.
It is
        similar to a powderpost beetle, but the antennae do not show the
        distinctive two segmented club at the end which is noted in any
        literature I have read.  Does anybody have any idea who this
little guy
        is?

        With Thanks,

        Roberta Sealy
