I was resawing some oak today and I didn't notice this hole till I was pretty much finished the cut.

Here's a finger to give you an idea of size.

Initially I though it must be a nail hole from something pinned to the tree but when I opered the boards I found this.

This bug is very dry and very dead but is also very big at about 3/4 of an inch long. It has a great big set of pincers at the front. There's no evidence of any more in this or any other board but since I've not come across this before I've two questions.
a. Does anyone know what it is.
and
b. Should I be worried about it?
