They appear to be ground beetles (Carabidae). In warm weather, they often are attracted to exterior lighting, crawl around and up the building and enter through cracks and crevices. They are not a direct threat to collections, however their carcasses may be fed upon by carpet beetle larvae.

Hello all,
I recently found these little guys in a historic house on property. Here are the environmental conditions:
· Specimens were located almost exclusively on 2nd floor
· Specimens were found on wood floors (unfinished) with gaps in between boards and an inaccessible void underneath
· Specimens found mostly under beds and on insect monitors
· A few specimens found on a wool blanket (dead) folded on a colonial era bed
Any idea what these insects are and if they pose a threat to collections?
Thanks,
