Can anyone help me identify this little fucker?

I was out on my balcony enjoying a cold one, and noticed this little fucker trying to enter a small hole in my wooden kiosk:

I did some googling about wood eating bugs but unfortunately I couldn't find anything.

Any insects experts out there that can help me identify the discuss perhaps? Found in North Greece. Size, I'd say about 2 cm give or take.

Leave me a comment if you think you can help!

As for what happened to the critter.... Let's just say it met its creator soon after I took the photos 🤐👀

I think this isn't the full insect, it's probably still in the larvae stage and that's why it's lurking around woods, I don't think I know the name.

This doesn't look like a complete insect and maybe it is at the larvae stage

It’s a brown wood caterpillar. It eats wood until it cocoons. It will become a moth with brown and black spots on its wings.

That's it! I have seen adults too around here, it probably went to eat the wasps we have too in the kiosk!

I can't help but send a prayer for the little fucker's soul... May the Lord bless you for ending his misery and send him into eternal life.

Wood eating bugs looks different:

Wood eating larva, found often in rotten logs (some people eating this 🤮), at lvl 40 evolves into a moth that eventually break your nerves hitting bulbs in summers.

Without looking on Google or something similar it looked to me like a baby earwig having its claws at the end. But who knows, maybe it's like the others said.
