Many people are too scared to even sign such petitions. Its all on record. I was advised not to ever sign such things by a trusted government employee.

Thanks a lot by your suggestion! Maybe it's an species of the same genus. I doubt with E. temminckii that looks like to have six orange spots (three on each elytra), very well aligned, as well as obscured and not very showy against the dark background of elytra. While my photo shows a specimen with much more orange spots, brighter and more showy, and not aligned but irregularly disposed. I respectfully disagree, markings are not a good character to use for identifying a widespread species. Particularly when there are few species in the genus.

Two species in the genus with E. morio being the second that im aware of. Its markings are white and small in comparison. Its likely my initial suggestion is correct now that ive investigated further. With a broad distribution of Borneo, Sumatra, Java and Thailand. There are certainly going to be some variations.

Again, one with a white label without data :-( That looks like the Indonesian Eutrachelus temmincki. A female ofcourse...

It's on the comments there. A Dermestid beetle larva. Also known as carpet beetles. They eat dead animal and plant matter. Not timber borers.

40 in total =20 each, =10 pairs, half for personal collection, half for exchange...not that hard to understand Which goes to show that there are others then, European collectors, who are in contact with these two, who would exchange for known protected species. Its simply a hypothetical... 🙄

Said solution will cause more harm than perceived problem. Just let nature do its thing.
