JKD Posted August 23, 2020 Report Share Posted August 23, 2020 Definitely a beetle larvae of some kind. Can't help with species though 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker570 Posted August 23, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2020 I believe it is bark beetle larvae. It matches the description on google, colour and size. Interesting in that of all the many tons of timber I have processed this is the first time I have seen them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bavarianbrit Posted August 24, 2020 Report Share Posted August 24, 2020 They are at plague proportions in Germany now, it destroys the timbers value as it can only then be firewood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougy Posted August 24, 2020 Report Share Posted August 24, 2020 Looks too small for Stag larvae, could be Wasp or woodworm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walker570 Posted August 25, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2020 (edited) Not my hands, mine where a lot muckier having just greased the slide. Yes, definitely bark beetle. I would be overjoyed to see some stag beetle grubs as I have yet to see a stag beetle. Of course I noted the PUN also Edited August 25, 2020 by Walker570 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
