Discover the intriguing world of woodworms, depicted in this 16th-century engraving by the circle of Lucas van Leyden (Picture No. 11675627, "Virgin and Child"). Unseen to the naked eye, these tiny beetles (Common furniture beetle) cause significant damage to wood, as shown in the SEMs of emerging beetles and their larvae (Magnification x 100 and x 85). The larvae, or woodworm, feed on the cellulose in the wood, creating extensive tunnels and weakening structures. Prevent infestations by maintaining proper humidity levels, avoiding excessive moisture, and promptly addressing signs of damage. #Woodworm #SEM #FurnitureBeetle #WoodPreservation
