Wharf borer, Nacerdes melanura

6279 Hello, I’ve recently found 2 or 3 of these insects in (and around) my bathroom every day for the past week. Every time, I remove them but the day after (sometimes even less) another is there. Sometimes 2 or 3 even. I have absolutely no idea what this could be, I’ve never seen these in my life and I haven’t been living in Quebec (or Canada) since long so maybe it’s something local to Quebec? I’m clueless about this and I’m afraid it might be something serious. I hope you can help identify this. Thank you in advance. From Quebec

Number 6279 This is a wharf borer, Nacerdes melanura (Coleoptera: Oedemeridae). Their larvae bore in wet, rotting wood and seldom if ever cause any real structural damage. Click here  for more detailed information.
