Pretty low humidity, usually around 15-20%, avg. temperature around 70. I don't think it's a powderpost beetle because it has several segments on the lower half.

Although you only have the one photo, beetles in the family Staphylinidae have elytra (wing covers) which do not cover the abdomen - as does your specimen. At any rate, it obviously wandered into the warehouse. Not a museum pest as far as I can tell.

Body would not look like this beetle, and this looks like a staphylinid. Typical with the rove beetles, the elytra of this species are short and the abdominal sclerites are visible from above. Powderpost beetles have very different antennae with terminal knobs, body not shaped like this staphylinid, but more narrow and parallel-sided. Pronotum also would not be wide like that pictured here. Sent from my Verizon Wireless Device bugma...@aol.com wrote: This is a message from the Museumpests List.
