chocccie Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 I've seen several red/brown insects in my woodpile ... the are about 1cm long . Possibly a powder-post beetle .... but one reddish insect looks much the same as the next to me! Are they potential dangerous to my house timber?Does anybody have any idea what they could be? I'll try and get a photo of one. EDIT .... I got a picture of one ...

Pixie Toadstool Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 It looks like a red longhorn beetle whose larvae feed on dead pine wood - so it might just have hatched out. I don't believe they are known to be a pest though!Pix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
