Size 1/12 inch long. (It is often challenging to recognize small-sized beetles from a picture. Because different insects may be treated differently, be sure the insect is correctly identified before attempting control.)
Where/when Found in homes primarily during August and September.
Significance Does not harm people or property, although it can be a nuisance. In rare cases it can be associated with moldy grain in homes.
