check your woooden items now. I'm in Queensland and have had a woden mask just break out in boareres. I had it checked at customs and at the time it was fine.

There was one of them lying dead on the mask and it was a winged thing like a fruit fly. Bloody hell!!!!!!!! I've just been away and prior to leaving I had noticed two such insects buzzing around the house which was unusual at the time.

We've poisoned, bagged and disposed of my beloved mask and I'm very sad about it. I think now that Spring has sprung it might be worth while checking all bits of wooden paraphanlia.

Happy Travels
