"Timber Borers - Anobium & Lyctus Borers"

Anobium costatum is a species of beetles in the genus Anobium of the family Anobiidae.

Her photography has been featured in the magazines Petits Points and We Are Selecters, as well as on the blogs DinosaurCity, Wunderbuzz, Honey Kennedy, and Anobium.

The term "death watch" has been applied to a variety of other ticking insects including Anobium striatum, some of the so-called booklice of the family Psocidae, and the appropriately named Atropos divinatoria and Clothilla pulsatoria.

The mites' reported hosts have included Anobium punctatum, the pink bollworm, Grapholita molesta, Tineola bisselliella, Apis cerana (Asiatic honey bee), periodic cicadas, and various pests of stored grain, as well as humans and their pets.

The good news is that the most common infestation, by the woodworm - or anobium punctatum or furniture beetle, call it what you will - can be treated, so long as it has not gone too far into the timbers, at a cost of a few hundred pounds.
