rove beetles

6014    These have shown up in a basement laundry room. We’ve put out some sticky traps which is where they are showing up. We seem to rarely see live bugs, the ones we see are already dead.  Can you help us identify this?   Regards,    Derek.  St. John’s, Newfoundland, Canada

Like No. 6007, these are rove beetles (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae); general predators on other small arthropods. Ed Saugstad, retired entomologist; Sinks Grove, WV.
