If correct, they are mildew-feeding beetles, feeding on molds and mildew. They can be associated with mildew or mold growth on sheet rock and lumber, or in a moist location where there has been a plumbing or roof leak. They are unlikely to cause structural damage or damage museum artifacts unless they are very abundant. Or, they could just be coming in from an outdoor garden area.

Any idea what they may be? They are lightly over a mm long, have 6 legs, an elongated thorax and maybe clubbed antenna. I hope the picture will help. They were the best I could do. Please ignore the other flotsam in the pictures. Thanks so much. --Leslie Leslie L. Skibinski Collection Manager of Mollusks Delaware Museum of Natural History P.O.
