Hi Maggie and all, No damage found so far, just the adults wandering around. I've instructed the collection manager to place sticky traps at the ends of every shelving row in order to narrow down possible area/item of infestation.
The antenna are long and not bulbus as the hide beetles' are.

At first glance it looks a bit like a Hide beetle to me. But I will wait to hear from some others. I hope you are well!

The first pic is a dead specimen and the second not so dead but less cooperative. Any help is appreciated.
