I have some little bugs in my rough cut live edge pine stacked in the yard!

Any ideas on what they are?

 

 



 



 

Sorry about picture quality, they may be about 1/8" to 1/4" long

They are likely a bark beetle.  The lyctid powderpost beetle only likes hardwoods.

Not a bark beetle, I think.Thinking a spring tail, family Entomobryida.  If if jumps.
