Hi Kate and Matt,

I have to disagree with the booklice ID since booklice are wingless and have 
slender antennae. The picture you provided is a winged insect. It’s certainly a 
type of beetle because of the segmented antennae and the wings. Possibly on of 
these beetles:

Hello,

We recently found several of these guys in a sticky trap in our collections 
storage. Are they booklice?

Thanks,
Kate
