Hide Beetle
Photo: Jeff Hahn	Size	Adult: 1/4 - 1/3 inch. Larva: up to ½ inch.
	Where/when	Found indoors during spring and summer anywhere in the home.
	Significance	Feeds on meats, cheese, dead animals and dead insects. Finding a couple of adults during spring does not automatically mean there is a problem. However, when more adults, as well as larvae, are found, this indicates an infestation is present. Problems are often associated with dead insects in wall voids.
