Cigarette Beetle (often confused with the very similar Drugstore Beetle)

Found indoors worldwide, primarily in stored food areas, pantries, warehouses, and locations with dried plant materials or tobacco.

Feeds on a wide variety of dried organic materials including tobacco, spices (paprika, cayenne), grains, cereal, pet food, dried flowers, and book bindings.

Adults are strong fliers and are active in low light; when disturbed, they often pull in their legs and head to remain motionless; they have a characteristic 'humpbacked' appearance where the head is tucked under the pronotum.

Considered a stored product pest; they contaminate food and can cause damage to books, furniture stuffing, and museum specimens, but they do not bite, sting, or transmit diseases to humans.
