Squished body introduces more compounds into the material. Dead ones form food source for dermestid beetles. The bugs enter buildings in order to spend the winter but on warmer winter days become active and fly about exhausting their stored energy reserves and die sooner.

The front leading edge of pronotum should be smooth and not wavy or "toothy". Other characters look good. Louis N. Sorkin, B.C.E.
