Looks like carpenter bee dust and feces. They also spray a sludge/tar looking
kind of substance so look for that and you can confirm for certain and solve
the mystery. JTV

Joel,
We did see holes that match your description. They seemed to line up with the
saw dust piles as well.
Thanks,
Melanie

Have you looked for larger holes the size of your pinkie perfectly round like
carpenter bee holes? People usually look for very tiny holes first. JTV

Hello,
We’ve noticed sawdust and remnants underneath one of our wood paneled railroad
cars. Unfortunately, we haven’t located any boring holes/exit holes.
Photographed are samples of an adult and what appears to be larvae or excrement
(we are unsure).
The railroad car was moved to Sacramento, CA at the beginning of the year and
there was no activity at the time. This is a recent development.
Please let me know if anyone can help identify. Thanks in advance!
Thanks,
Melanie
