Most of the pictures except one (longer antennae) look like Reesa vespulae, a 
dermestid beetle known as the wasp nest dermestid. It's parthenogenetic (no 
males).

Hi All,

I believe this is a drugstore beetle, but I am uncertain. Does this species 
typically have lighter brown circles on their elytra when looking up close?

Any ID guidance is appreciated!

Best,
Katey
