Dark brown to blackish-brown, about one-eighth to one-fourth
inch; range in shape from slender and elongated to oval.

hardwoods and softwoods, usually more than ten years old;
create small, round holes of one-sixteenth to one-eighth
inch diameter, which appear especially in structural
timbers.

Larvae feed on both hardwoods and softwoods.
Reproduction :
Life cycle averages two to three
years, with the majority of time spent in the destructive

of exit holes in the wood is low.
