So when I was a teenager in Montréal, I kept telling my family that I could hear a noise coming from my closet door. They all thought I was mad as I was a bit of an ‘out-there’ teen and they simply thought I was hearing things or making something up with my overly fertile imagination. One night I heard the noise, dragged a chair over to the closet and opened the door; much to my horror I saw carpenter ants travelling in and out of the door at the top. They were eating their way through my door. To this day, ants creep me out!
Gorgeous photos and storytelling, as always. I recently purchased a 32- or maybe 36-piece puzzle for a child who turned three in January and she loves it! (I’ve ensured they are a big Momo, Yaya, and Boo family. Stoked for the new book.
Teredo navalis (naval shipworm) makes this kind of pattern in wood like the smaller stick there, not so much the logs, though, those are indeed likely the ants
Ok people are upset and emailing me! Just kidding not upset but maybe you can comment on this public forum instead of sending me secret messages.
So far you have given me a few other potential hole makers: pine beetles, and ship worms.
What are your thoughts?
