Betreff: [pestlist] insect ID


Hi Everyone,

I’m hoping someone can help identify this insect for me. It’s about ~2mm. I’m 
thinking it’s one of the minute brown scavenger beetles, but have never come 
across them before so am unfamiliar with how they look. Sorry for the 
overexposure; I can try and take more photos if needed.

I’ve never had them caught in my blunder traps before, but over the past few 
weeks I’ve been seeing a lot pop up in the traps, and dead in cupboards. Any 
comments would be appreciated!

Thank you,

Katie
