I can guarantee you have strong lights attached to your building where these night flying scarab beetles hit the light and building and then drop to the ground. They are walking into your building. It's time for brush sweeps on your doors.

Subject: [pestlist] Beetle IDs

Hi all,

I’m not worried about these two beetles, just curious as to what they are as we are seeing them in the building more. The first two photos are of the same beetle. The third is on a different trap but looks the same as the first. The third is mostly brown, found on a different trap. Not found en masse, but here and there on the same floor and end of the museum building. It will be good to note the time of year so when next year rolls around we’re not surprised (we hope).

Thanks for any help!
