But, just to confirm, take a look at the attached photo and let me know what you think. I believe we have been finding them over the years but they have been misidentified. With a refreshed IPM program we're doing a better job of ID, documentation and monitoring. :) For some context: - The museum is in Northern Delaware - The traps were both in closets - one on the 8th floor (only one more floor above it) and the other on the 1st floor - Neither closet houses material Odd beetles are known to feed on - fur, feather, hide I'm suspect of what in our walls, roof, voids etc. The 8th could have the remains of bird nests outside. The 1st floor is a bigger mystery. Thanks, Matthew A.
