Yep, and @nieminen@lemmy.world if they’re hollow, they’re living out their adult lives elsewhere (likely in the building). These are just signs that they used it as a pupation site.

Thank you. I’ve seen no evidence of them, and they were below some baseboards put in long ago. I’m hoping it’s an issue that no longer exists 😂

Cool entomological fact: Cockroaches and termites (and also praying mantises) are really closely related, and many cockroaches have the ability to digest lignin, aka wood, just like termites
