Red Flour Beetle

Pantries, food preparation areas, flour mills, and grain storage facilities

Stored dry food products including flour, cereal, nuts, beans, and dried fruit

Nocturnal and highly resilient scavengers that breed rapidly in stored products; unlike the confused flour beetle, this species can fly

A major agricultural pest that causes food spoilage and emits a disagreeable odor when present in large numbers, but poses no direct physical threat to humans
