Drugstore Beetle - Stegobium paniceum
San Leandro, Alameda County, California, USA
December 30, 2005
Size: 3mm
In accordance with my hopes to photograph one of these beetles with perfect antennae, three of these beetles showed up in my house in the last couple of weeks. (This is maybe not so good as far as my hopes for a spotless house goes...)
