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.

Hello, I have spoken to one of our Coleoptera  experts and he confirmed Tony’s 
identificattion that is an Ash Bark Beetle genus Leperisinus (Family 
Curculionidae: Subfamily Scolytinae). They are usually the species Leperisinus 
varius.

It’s a native outdoor species associated with ash trees (genus Fraxinus) where 
it bores into the wood of recently dead branches and trunks. It probably flew in

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!

Best regards,

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?

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.

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

Best,
Matt

Hi Joel,

There are a couple of tiny spiders next to the weevil, but I don't see any
mouth parts or antennae on the sticky trap. It does look like there could
be a hidden snout tucked up on its chest.

Thank you!

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

Hi Crista


It is definitely an Anthrenus species, likely Anthrenus flavipes. Scales of

Hello,

This beetle was caught walking along a work table in our lab in Tucson. We have 
not seen any others. He measures approximately 2mm in length. Does anybody know 
what kind it is? The coloring looks almost like a carpet beetle, but the 
pattern does not seem to be the same.

Many thanks,

It certainly seems to be an adult dermestid, but may not be one of the common 
carpet beetles often found in museums and homes. Because of color variation and 
wear, it is usually best to have a series of specimens for precise ID.

Hope you don't find a second one, but remain vigilant.

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.

Best wishes

Hi Diana,

I would highly recommend checking with your local Cooperative Extension
office- they're a branch of the USDA. I recently talked to our local
horticulture educator to get a positive beetle larvae ID. They were
extremely helpful and knowledgable about local insects.

Hope that helps!

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.
