It could be almost anything - powderpost beetle,ALB, or one of another billion varieties of beetles that love to lay their eggs in the bark or pulp-wood of our beloved hardwood trees. Don't worry - you can't really hear them screamin' when you toss 'em in the fire......well, maybe a little screamin'. ;-P
We all have 'em. Unfortunately, they're a part of our wood burning world ,now.

I hope that's not the larvae of a powder post beetle . . . PPBs leave very, very small holes in the wood . . . if that is a PPB I think it would be the Godzilla of the Powder Post Beetle world.
