Joni -
It is a leaf feeding beetle in the order Chrysomelidae. It simply wandered indoors from outside. It is no threat to collections, however, the carcass may be large enough to house a carpet beetle larva. Others in this family of beetles are the elm leaf beetle, Colorado potato beetle, tortoise beetles, the locust leaf miner, flea beetles, the spotted cucumber beetle, and the asparagus beetle.

Dear List:
I have never come across this beetle in the historic home where I work. I searched some of the pest ID sites with no success. Can anyone tell me if it is a threat to collection objects?
Many thanks,
