Drugstore Beetle? - Stegobium paniceum

Drugstore Beetle? - Stegobium paniceum
Hamilton Branch by Lake Almanor, Plumas County, California, USA
September 20, 2014
Size: 3mm
Perhaps species Stegobium paniceum, the Drugstore Beetle? See here: (1).

This was one of several specimens given to me by a friend, who said several these little beetles were showing up each day lately, in a bathroom - via the exaust fan vent. The antenna on this beetle were a good match with an image of the Drugstore Beetle found in a book I have on household pests.

My thanks for confirmation or otherwise.
