I have to agree. I've been travelling but the first picture that was posted was 
enough. Very distinctive head.  Some are plant feeders; some predaceous. Their 
wings (if present) are also quite distinctive and characteristic for the order.

Hi Johanna
As others have suggested, a specimen or magnified photo would be best to get a 
definitive name, but looking at your pictures, I am quite sure that the insect 
is a thrips (Thysanoptera). These insects regularly squeeze themselves into 
picture frames (they have evolved to insert themselves into very narrow spaces 
in the plants on which they feed). They will do no damage themselves, but 
occasionally a dead thrips can act as a focal point for mould, which may damage 
works on paper, so they are best removed from the frames.

Hello Johanna,

Once you have the frame open, you can try using a piece of clear tape to 
capture the insect.  If a standard microscope is not readily available, a 
simple microscope attachment for the smartphone can be obtained for a very 
reasonable price.

Good luck!

Best,
Jessica

Dear Rich,
attached some more pictures. Have you any ideas?
The insects move, that means they are alive and they are very small (2mm). But 
we will open the pictureframe anyway to get a further view on the problem.

Hi Cara,

Unfortunately, that sure does look and sound like a powder post beetle to me 
(though it's hard for me to be positive without the antennae).

If the altarpiece is on open display, you might want to alert the people who 
clean the gallery that the frass will resemble extremely fine sawdust or even 
very light dirt. It is very easily mistaken for other substances.

Luckily these beetles are pretty weak fliers. If you can't get the object into 
treatment any time soon, you could be able to partially control their movements 
by using a UV lure in the gallery after hours.

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.

Thanks,
Cara

Hello Johanna,

Once you have the frame open, you can try using a piece of clear tape to
capture the insect.  If a standard microscope is not readily available, a
simple microscope attachment for the smartphone can be obtained for a very
reasonable price.  https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00QLYPMZW?psc=1
Good luck!

Best,
Jessica

Johanna,

The images are not of sufficient resolution or magnification to allow for an 
answer with any assurance. Please try to find a way to obtain better images. 
Alternatively, sample the physical material and consider submitting it for 
evaluation.

Best regards,
Rich
