Disclaimer: I am not an entomologist. However, I have found these pests (or a very similar pest) in my own traps, and have had them identified through this list. I think the larger beetle in Trap 1 is a Rove Beetle. When I found this type of beetle in my own collections area a few months ago, someone from this pestlist identified it as such, and added that the Rove Beetle is an incidental, and probably just followed someone in from outside. I also think the beetle in the upper right corner of the second trap photo might be a Ground Beetle (Carabidae caminara). I am interested to learn what the other two might be!

I have attached a couple of blunder trap images with a tape measure in centimeters for scale. I believe the first image shows a hide beetle, partially chewed by the adjacent smaller beetle (black carpet beetle?). Can anyone confirm? I have very occasionally had these before. On the second trap, the black one at the top I have also seen before and have been previously told it was a mealworm beetle. The two lower ones are new to me and appear to be the same species as each other. The photo doesnt show it well, but they are an iridescent copper colour. These were on a common blunder trap that was near a pheromone trap for beetles (Im experimenting) that has attracted larder beetles may be a clue? Any thoughts?
