This looks like one of the False Flower Beetles - Scraptiidae.
They are associated with dead wood and feed on flowers in spring and
summer. Best regarded as an accidental visitor, presenting no direct threat
to collections.

Superficially like *Attagenus smirnovi*, but the antennae are much too
long. I don't recognise it, so I suspect it's an Australian native species
- an accidental visitor from outside. Continue monitoring to see if you get
lots more. If not, it's unlikely to be a problem.

Hi Katey
No, the hind femora are much bigger than on the Cigarette Beetle. I suspect
this is one of the Flea Beetles (Alticini, Chrysomelidae). There are alot
of species, often difficult to identify.
But the main thing is that they are accidental visitors, and are not
interested in eating collectio
' are.

Hello Angela,
Do you have any images of damage associated with your findings?
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!
Best wishes,

It's a click beetle - Elateridae, *Aeolus mellillus* or similar - an
accidental visitor.

Hi Liz
The first one looks like one of the "ant-like flower beetles" (Anthicidae).
The one near the centipede is a click beetle (Elateridae).
Neither is a pest species - just accidental visitors.

This is not a typical emergence time of year for bostrichids.
Where did you find it? Is this the only one you found? Have you seen
emergence holes or frass?

Once again. Another click beetle. They are flying to lights at night and then
crawling in under exterior doors.

Hi Julie,
It appears to be the dermestid beetle Reesa vespulae which are known to target
wasp nests or bees nests in nature. They can feed on dead insects and dried
animal material in some circumstances but your main focus should be to look for
and remove any wasp or bee nests in the area.

phew! thanks so much. I was sure it was going to be some kind of dermestid.

We frequently get Throscidae in our sticky traps ... for some reason. They
eat micorhyzae and live in soil. Yours looks like a throscid.

It is *Trixagus *(Throscidae) - one of the "False Click Beetles", a wood
boring species that is attracted to light. Not a pest species, though it
does turn up in museums and galleries occasionally.
This one could be *Trixagus dermestoides*, but it has nothing to do with
dermestids, other than being
