>From a wood conservators point of view:
This insect is not “attacking” the sculpture. I would say, the infestation which lead to the bore holes / galleries took place while the tree still was standing (= alive). (due to the shape of the bore holes and the orientation of the cracks) The insect in the picture is more likely “using” the holes. Mr. Biebl, do you agree on that?

If you could identify what type of the insect is I would be grateful. Thank you in advance for your help!
