Default Re: Is this woodworm?

Looks about the right colour, but too bulbous for a woodworm beetle unless the video was shot from an angle of about 45 degrees -

is a fair representation. I've seen quite a few of them over the years, beginning when aged 10 I bought a table model gramophone that was riddled with holes, and, since I'd treated it with the noxious fluid then available at just the right time, a few dozen beetles emerged to die on the surface. It never had woodworm again, but still stank of the fluid five years later.
