Had another look and I agree that it is Corticaria, it is too small for Lissodema.

Re: [pestlist] insect identification
Yes, it was less than 2 mm. I looked at some pictures of corticaria serrata and it looks very similar to the insect in my pictures. It eats mold, which makes sense in this case...

Re: [pestlist] insect identification
Thank you David, I am relieved that it is not a pest. We have also found 5 Stegobium Paniceum in a total of 66 traps. Do you think we have an infestation or some casual insects?
