Looks like a rove beetle! From: pestlist@googlegroups.com <pestlist@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of Strommer, Shelby A Sent: Monday, October 9, 2023 12:04 PM To: pestlist@googlegroups.com Subject: [PestList] Pest identification help
[EXTERNAL] Good afternoon, We found this insect in on or our sticky traps near a collections storage area, and would appreciate any help in identifying. It is black and approximately 1.5 cm long. I don't think it's a termite, but would love confirmation. Apologies for the image quality, they were taken with an older digital camera in Macro mode. If anyone has suggestions for better insect images, I would also be grateful for tips. Thank you!
