Is there an entry hole somewhere? Or was he inside the wood all along as it was harvested and turned into a changing table?

I looked for a hole, but didn’t find one. However, since we bought the table over 6 years ago, I doubt they were in there for that long. Also, the spot we found him was near a spot where two pieces of wood met, so there was a little join line that could have hidden an entrance or egg laying hole.

(By the way, that spoiler box up above was not intended!)

So we see the first potential problem with the SPOILER function. If any Moderator will remove the text “SPOIKER” in brackets in the offending post above, the thread will fix itself.

Of course, that should be “SPOILER” that is to be removed, not “SPOIKER”. Jesus…bad typing.

Do NOT use the tag, it screws up the formatting.

Unless and until we tell you it’s okay, don’t use it.

I’m lost. That spoiler box wasn’t there when I read the thread earlier this afternoon. 😕 It was just the plain text. Huh? What, he spelled it “spoiker” so it didn’t make a “spoiler tag”?
