Dermestidae Beetle
5625 Hi, these photos were taken in downtown Toronto in my condo. It’s winter, but I’ve seen these bugs in different seasons. I’ve only seen them a handful of times and only on the floor. They are only ever these tiny little things that I can barely see. What is it?! Do I need to fumigate?! Thanks. Gillian
This appears to be a beetle in the family Dermestidae (carpet/hide/skin/larder beetles and allies). No need for fumigation, but you probably should check any dry stored food products for signs of insect infestation. Ed Saugstad, retired entomologist; Sinks Grove, WV.
