Morgan, This is not a red flour beetle (Body Shape!!). MBS beetle sounds better.

I’m in the middle of my pest IDs and came across these beetles (two adults, three larvae - plus a bonus dermestid!) in one of my traps. While I would desperately love to believe that they are just minute brown scavenger beetles, I’m thinking they are red flour beetles (or confused flour beetles which would be more appropriate for the Boston area, but I thought these antennae looked off?). They were found in a small, carpeted, attic library with a skylight that has historically had issues with dampness. Anyway, I was hoping that the list could help me confirm one way or another before I assemble the troops! Thank you all for any assistance! Best, Morgan P.S. Photos taken with Zarbeco Miscope Megapixel MP3 digital microscope should it be of interest!
