Hi Rachel
Although this looks superficially like a rove beetle, it is actually a snake 
fly larva (order Raphidioptera). A predatory, accidental visitor, which 
presents no threat to the collections.
Best wishes

Hi Rachel,

I think that might be a type of rove beetle! We've been seeing more of them in 
our traps lately, they've got that flexible abdomen and rather intimidating 
mandible. I don't believe they're a direct threat to collections, because 
they're a predator species- they eat mites, springtails, larvae etc.. However, 
their presence could be indicating an increase in the types of prey they eat!

Best,

Mikael

Hello Pest Listers,
I’ve caught a few of these in traps but never been able to get a good photo 
before this.  I have NO idea what this is!  Can anyone please identify? Is it a 
threat to collections?  Just Look at those mandibles!
Thank you in advance for any help you can provide in identifying…
