You have an outdoor pest - no threat to collections.  However, if you allow 
larger dead insects (large flies, wasps, beetles, American cockroaches) to lay 
about your building, carpet beetle larvae will devour them, leaving piles of 
frass in their wake.  The adult carpet beetles will readily fly to other 
sources of protein in your building and lay more eggs.

Good morning from Madrid
Yesterday we found two alive bugs (one of them at the photo) that we identify 
as cerambycidae, specifically Plagionotus Arcuatus, very close to historical 
books. We dont know these guys are indoor or outdoor pests. They like eating 
historical paper? we are very concerned about that. Any advice will be grateful.


thanks

Hi Javier,



The larvae of this species, like most longhorn/timber beetles, feed
internally on wood/logs of reasonable size, preferring standing or at least
fresh cut wood. I doubt that anything inside your building would support
these as the moisture content will be far too low and as I say they would
be out of their environment.



Eric Duffy, who wrote extensively on this group of beetles (Cerambycidae)
recorded this species from *Quercus*,* Prunus* and *Salix*, but I’m sure
many other species of tree/shrub are utilised also.



So nothing to worry about with these beetle as far as your books and papers
are concerned.


Best regards,


Stuart Hine
