Small soft-bodied beetle (likely spider beetle)

Dry indoor areas, especially pantries, cupboards, attics, and wall voids where stored organic material accumulates.

Larvae feed on dried plant or animal materials, including grain products, pet food, textiles, and dead insects; adults may feed little or not at all.

Slow-moving, oval, reddish-brown beetles that often hide in cracks and emerge at night. Larvae develop concealed within stored materials, and infestations can persist unnoticed.

Not dangerous to people and do not bite. They can contaminate or damage stored food and household materials; ecologically, they help decompose organic debris.
