Mary,

I passed this on to a friend who responded:

Tim,
This looks like an Armyworm Moth to me (/Mythimna unipuncta/). An ag pest.
Jim

I would agree that it is not a museum pest.

Re: [pestlist] Bug Identification...again

2010-10-15 Thread Tim Cashatt

 Hi Kim,

This one is a ground beetle, a member of the family Carabidae.  They 
feed on other soft bodied insects, so they are not a threat to stored 
foods or other organic materials.

Thank you all so much for your help identifying my bug from 
yesterday.  To paraphrase the song, another day, another bug.  
Again, I don't think this bug is a baddie, but I wanted to be sure.  
This one is about 0.5 inches long.  It's about 0.25 inches wide.  
Sorry about the weird purple streaks on the picture.  I took a few, 
but they kept showing up.  Thanks again for your help!
