      it could be alot of things Vc but first glance I thought elm bark beetle and think i may be right. It carries what we know as Dutch Elm disease killing most English elm tees in it's wake.
      Originally a North American species the beetle arrived in wood from the Netherlands hence our calling it Dutch Elm rather than just Elm beetle.

      OK thanks dean and this one was a real dutch one ;)

      not an elm bark beetle, but it is the Phyllopertha horticola (rozenkever in dutch).
