Thank you Blaine
Now I remember. http://bugguide.net/node/view/610002
The first time, I found these searching a commercial greenhouse looking for something to overwinter my household spiders on.
Named for their appearance, not for what doesn't eat them. S.borealis and T. domestica didn't.
This beetle was with ten, mostly adult, S.borealis and 20 or 30 ~4mm moths.
