What you are catching on your glueboards means one thing; they are flying to 
lights affixed to your building at night, dropping down to the perimeter, and 
then walking into your building.  It's time to tighten up your building's 
exterior envelope.  Change your mercury vapor lights to sodium vapor ones.

Hi everyone,
 
I have recently had a few unwanted visitors in our basement level storage 
(primarily textiles and ethnographic materials). 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 doesn’t 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 (I’m experimenting) that has 
attracted larder beetles – may be a clue?
 
Any thoughts?
 
Thanks,
Dee

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!
