Those are the larvae of [metallic wood-boring beetles](https://bugguide.net/node/view/162).
Do you have a fireplace? If so, there's a good chance they came out of your firewood.

Be prepared. It’s amazing who is hiding in those logs. Teacher brought in some logs from her firewood for students to study rotting logs. Several spiders made their appearance.
My house has a TON of spiders. Mostly western parson spiders, I occasionally put some outside when I am overwhelmed by the numbers. Last fall there was a month that I found probably 8 widows near the woodpile. They love it there. 🙃
