lightbulb gourmet - Anthrenus

lightbulb gourmet - Anthrenus
Hudson, Hillsborough County, New Hampshire, USA
January 11, 2006
Size: 2 mm approx.
This little dermestid larva was there enjoying my lighbulb insect harvest. He had a little competition there from some 1mm-long booklice I hope he matures so I can match him with an adult photo. When I first spotted him, he was tring to walk in a headstand position caused by the static charge in the polyethylene sandwich container containing the bug duff.

Millimeter marks are visible through bottom of container.

Since posting this series
I've learned that elements of a series can be posted in different locations without unlinking images, so I think I'll move some of the others as well. This image can go all the way to genus Anthrenus.
