Hi Joel, Size: 5-6 mm It was found alive, crawling on a painted platform in front of a painted altarpiece on wood panel. I don't have any photos of exit holes, but the raw wood visible on this altarpiece does have plenty of old signs of pest damage. This is a loaned object that reportedly has been treated twice with anoxia in the last year, for what type of pest activity I am not sure. (It is typically on display in a church, however, so the likelihood of re-infestation seems high in that kind of environment.) There was no frass visible below or around the altarpiece, however this object is currently installed so I wasn't able to lift it up to examine very closely.
