Re: [PestList] Help ID'ing Beetle

Hello Boyana,
That’s a ground beetle (Family Carabidae). A predator of other invertebrates. Usually accidental indoors. Flies after dark and is often attracted to light.

Hello,
 
These beetles have popped up in the past couple months in our collections! They have been between 1.5-2cm in size and were found in our basement stacks and in a warehouse facility near the loading dock door.
They look like mealworm beetles? This seems unusual for our facility but with the repeated sightings, I want to make sure I have the correct ID!
 
Thank you,
