Brilliant, thank you everybody!

Yes, the first families I looked into were also the dermestidae, plus the 
anobiidae. I can also mention, looking at my specimens, that they are slightly 
more elongated and a bit less colourful than the Anthrenus species I usually 
encounter in Denmark, and more scaly/patterned than any of the anobiidae. The 
sign, though, that told me to look for a different family altogether, were the 
antennae. But then, my oldest book is only 30, so I didn’t get any further. ;-) 
Thank you, Tony and Armando, for digging deeper!

In my pictures I didn’t succeed to get the antennae properly in focus, but when 
you google the suggested species Hylesinus fraxini  or Leperisinus varius 
(those seem to be two names for the same species) one can see the spade-shaped 
tips quite nicely: e.g. https://www.kaefer-der-welt.de/hylesinus_fraxini.htm

I’ll ask the people who live in the house to have a look at their firewood, but 
ash certainly is popular for this purpose around here.



Best regards,

Simon

Yes and also the ventral view of the beetle that showed the head morphology and 
attachment to thorax did not show dermestid associated characters.

Casey and Matthew -

I think your suggestion that this might be a dermestid is quite reasonable, 
given the compact shape and the presence of scales on the thorax and wing 
cases. However this doesn't match any of the dermestids that I know, and there 
are other families of beetles with scales, notably the weevils and bark beetles 
(Curculionidae). In this case the asymmetric scale pattern gave it away - most 
bark beetles are rather plain, but this genus has a couple of species with such 
a pattern. I used an old book that I've had for over 50 years to make the 
initial identification, and confirmed it with an internet search for images of 
the genus. (There's a limit to what I can keep in my head!) The other clue that 
I had was that Simon mentioned dozens of beetles trying to get out. In my 
experience that most often results from a mass emergence from firewood.

To the untrained eye this looks more dermestid-like, though perhaps I project 
my greatest problem onto any bug.  Tony, as an entomologist I trust your 
observation but wonder about the features that drew you to that diagnosis? I 
was looking at shape and scale pattern (though my amature eye).

Hi Simon
This is one of the bark beetles (Scolytinae) - I would say it is Hylesinus 
fraxini or a close relative. They are usually associated with ash trees 
(Fraxinus), and tunnel under the bark. When they occur in large numbers 
indoors, the first thing to inspect is any firewood. It is most likely they are 
emerging from that. They do not present a threat to the building or its 
contents, except that dead individuals provide food for Anthrenus larvae.

Tony,

Fascinating!  I also noticed that the legs seemed “hairy” as opposed to those 
on the dermestids I was looking at.  Is this a correct observation?

Hallo Group,

This little guy I could not find in any of my books. The specimen is from 
southern Jutland in Denmark. Dozens of individuals of this species appeared 
inside an old, inhabited farm house (timber structures, probably organic 
filling material in ceilings, all kinds of possible food sources available, but 
the source has not yet been discovered) in the course of July, flying to the 
windows to get outside. They are about 3 mm in length. Colour isn’t great in 
the pictures, but greyish-brown with off-white scale markings is still pretty 
much what it looks like in real.
Any help would be appreciated!

Hi Simon
This is one of the bark beetles (Scolytinae) - I would say it is Hylesinus 
fraxini or a close relative. They are usually associated with ash trees 
(Fraxinus), and tunnel under the bark. When they occur in large numbers 
indoors, the first thing to inspect is any firewood. It is most likely they are 
emerging from that. They do not present a threat to the building or its 
contents, except that dead individuals provide food for Anthrenus larvae.
Best wishes

Hallo Group,

This little guy I could not find in any of my books. The specimen is from 
southern Jutland in Denmark. Dozens of individuals of this species appeared 
inside an old, inhabited farm house (timber structures, probably organic 
filling material in ceilings, all kinds of possible food sources available, but 
the source has not yet been discovered) in the course of July, flying to the 
windows to get outside. They are about 3 mm in length. Colour isn’t great in 
the pictures, but greyish-brown with off-white scale markings is still pretty 
much what it looks like in real.
Any help would be appreciated!

Hello Simon,

It looks very similar to an adult museum beetle, Anthrenus museorum, in the 
dermestid group.  Others might have a keener eye, however.  :)

The habit of them trying to get out windows, failing and depositing themselves 
in as the sills, is similar to what I see in adult varied carpet beetles.  In 
your farm house their larvae could be feeding on dead rodents, other dead 
insects within the structure.

Some more information on them via MuseumPests.net website:
http://museumpests.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/museum-beetle-fact-sheet.pdf

Matt

Hello All,

I found a new beetle (new to me) in one of our sticky traps today. At first I 
thought it was a varied carpet beetle. This one has slightly different markings 
and different legs. It is nearly one centimeter long.

Any tips?

 possibly better identify them?

Hello pest list,

I've been monitoring our storage areas, and when collecting traps noticed what 
I think may be carpet beetle larva (they look a lot like this: 
http://www.library.illinois.edu/prescons/services/ipm/images/beetle_cabinet_larva.jpg).
 They're small, fuzzy things that I'm thinking if not carpet beetle, then some 
other sort of beetle larva, but I'm a bit puzzled because I haven't trapped a 
single adult beetle. Does anyone know why I would trap just the larva and no 
adults? Or is it maybe something else that just looks like beetle larva? Is 
there such a thing?

Any help would be great. Unfortunately I don't have a photo of the actual ones 
that  I caught.

Thanks,

Annie

Hi Elizabeth

In Australia adult carpet beetles emerge in spring-early summer. However the 
larvae can be found throughout the year. This may be why you haven't found any 
adults.

Hello All,

We just recently found a beetle that we have never seen before near one of
our storage rooms. (see attached image)  The closest thing I can find to it
in my bug guide and on the internet is a root borer but the color is not
right.  This little guy measures roughly 1 inch and is metallic copper and
dark green in color.  We want to make sure it isn't an insect that is
harmful to museum collections.  Any guidance would be much appreciated.

Thank you, Lou.  I am pretty new to the list.  I will check into that.  I also 
forgot to mention that we are in Virginia.

Looks like another carabid beetle ID made it to the list.  Family Carabidae 
(Order Coleoptera).  There's been mention of family info on some recent posts.

Hello All,

We just recently found a beetle that we have never seen before near one of our 
storage rooms. (see attached image)  The closest thing I can find to it in my 
bug guide and on the internet is a root borer but the color is not right.  This 
little guy measures roughly 1 inch and is metallic copper and dark green in 
color.  We want to make sure it isn't an insect that is harmful to museum 
collections.  Any guidance would be much appreciated. 

Thank you,

Diana Welsh
Collections Management Assistant
