It is definitely an Anthrenus species, likely Anthrenus flavipes. Scales of Anthrenus adults rubbed off very easily.

We have not seen any others. He measures approximately 2mm in length. Does anybody know what kind it is? The coloring looks almost like a carpet beetle, but the pattern does not seem to be the same. Many thanks, Crista Pack Kress Post-Graduate Fellow in Conservation Arizona State Museum Tucson, AZ 85721 (520)621-6314<tel:%28520%29621-6314> pa...@email.arizona.edu<https://mail.catnet.arizona.edu/owa/redir.aspx?C=FEzkCTzAG0WubSTFPqVbnJisX3S2RdEIaoA6-_LI8O4yIdCg6v1od6iN3ovbluVElRrjtGiBjGA.&URL=mailto%3apackc%40email.arizona.edu> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To send an email to the list, send your msg to pestlist@museumpests.Net To unsubscribe from this list send an email to pestlist@museumpests.net and in the subject put: "unsubscribe" - no quotes please.
