Sorry typed too quickly. Meant to write Adistemia watsoni.  Quite a distinctive 
species.  Only found a few times in NYC, most often in Tudor City.

Tiny orange insect (beetle?),  Total length is a little less than 2 mm.
We have found several of these small insects in different blunder traps located 
on our basement level.  Any help in identifying them would be most appreciated -

Thank you-

Group -

Here's a question for those of you who may have had an occasion to battle a 
heavy infestation of plaster beetles:  Let's say there's a roof leak causing a 
mold bloom, hence an uprising of plaster beetles.  Then the leak is repaired; 
the mold no longer grows, but a billion spores are left behind.  Can plaster 
beetles still survive and reproduce in the dried out mold by the larvae eating 
the spores and mycelia?  Or once the mold is dried out, is that the end of the 
reproduction and slowly the adults will die off?

Any thoughts?

Tom Parker

It's a Latridiid, and I concur on Adistemia. Depending on the trap location, 
two may not be indicative of an infestation. These guys don't need much to eat 
and can hang around a long time after the conditions that triggered the initial 
mold growth are remediated.

Adistemia watsoni - one of the Plaster Beetles (Latridiidae). It is sometimes 
known as the Household Fungus Beetle.
So you have mould somewhere. Getting rid of the mould will get rid of the 
beetle infestation.
