Dermestid Beetles
Pantry Pest


Source: Scarafaggio.com, Plain talk about pests and pest control

Dermestid beetles are a large group of primarily carnivorous beetles that include larder beetles, carpet beetles and cabinet beetles. Unlike most other stored product pests, dermestid beetles prefer meat-based foods like pet foods, soup bases, and beef jerky. They also commonly infest non-food items such as furs, wool carpeting, and cashmere sweaters; and sometimes become a secondary pest when they feed on the feathers or fur of dead birds or other animals trapped in structures.
