Looks like powder-post beetle to me.

To post to this list send it as an email to [email protected] To unsubscribe please look at the footer of this email. ----------------------------------------------------------- These bugs were found on a bamboo sculpture. The smaller are about 3mm long and the larger about 5mm. The smaller bugs were still moving and there was a lot of frass on the object. Can anyone tell me what these are?
