Attagenus (sp?) - Attagenus brunneus
Atlanta, Fulton County, Georgia, USA
April 20, 2008
Size: 3.5 mm
Attagenus sp. Identification to the species-level would be great. Not sure if possibly by images. The specimen was found inside the home, so it is probably a common hosehold pest species.

Moved from Black Carpet Beetle.

Collection of further specimens and further research indicates these are A. brunneus. The antennal club is longer than remainder of antennae and the terminal segments are not dark. This second character is especially noticeable in females collected.
