This Bizarre Hole Appeared in My Deck—Bug Experts, Help!

Now that it's starting to get warmer outside, like many Michiganders, my family and I are spending more time outside.

I know, I know... What about outdoor winter activities? To those asking that question, I will answer with this only: I am not an "outdoorsy" person, and outdoor winter activities that don't include sipping hot chocolate by a fire aren't really for me.

So, back to my point, I'm spending much more time outside these days (a little bit to my chagrin because again; not an outdoorsy person).

What's This Weird Hole in My Deck Wood?

And during one of my most recent jaunts into my backyard, I noticed a very odd looking hole in my deck railing. Take a look...

What made this hole so odd was that it was so big and symmetrical, almost like it had been drilled into. However, neither my husband nor I have drilled into this deck anytime recently. And, this hole wasn't there last summer Which means it had to have been done recently.

So... what the heck did this to my deck?

Did a Bug Do This?

The only other partial piece of information I have is that it's very likely a bug, because one time my toddler exclaimed, "buggy!", while pointing at the hole. But, I didn't turn in time to see what had come out of or into the hole.
