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.

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!
