Hi Olivia This is one of the Hairy Fungus Beetles (Mycetophagidae) - its name is *Litargus connexus*. It's associated with damp conditions and mould, and is not usually regarded as a serious pest. If you find many of them, then that's an indicator that you need to address humidity issues. Best wish

Looks a lot like a ground beetle- they are pretty common (in MN). My understanding is they are not a "museum pest" (damage collection objects), but they can die inside and become food for other more serious insects (and possibly indicates porous building envelope). -Todd On Thu, Aug 19, 2021 at
