Drugstore Beetle (or Bread Beetle)

Commonly found in domestic kitchens, pantries, and commercial warehouses where dry food or organic materials are stored.

Broad range of dried plant products including flour, bread, cereals, spices, and tea, as well as non-food items like leather, books, and dried pharmaceutical products.

Larvae burrow into food sources to feed and eventually pupate; adults are capable of flight and are often attracted to light, though they do not feed during their adult stage.

Considered a major pest of stored products that can cause significant contamination and economic loss; they do not bite and are not physically harmful to humans but can spoil food supplies.
