I would check the door sweeps to see if they are degrading. JTV

That is a boxelder bug; a typical Fall invader.
Should not pose a problem to any curated or displayed objects.

Hi All,
I was wondering if anyone could identify what type of beetle this is. A few
coworkers think that it is a cotton beetle…but I haven’t been able to find too
much information on what those beetles do and what potential risks they might
present to our collection. They have been found (mainly dead) near one of our
doors that leads outside in groups of anywhere from 10-30 each morning. We have
also noticed them near the door to an emergency stairwell in another part of
our building. Most of the time they are dead—likely due to the sprayed barrier
that we have applied to our exterior doors. But the ones near the emergency
stairwell were still skittering around.
Any help on how to eradicate them and what they could potentially do to a
collection would be much appreciated. Thanks!
Best,
