Orange dermestid larva grows up! - Trogoderma ornatum - Female
Hudson, Hillsborough County, New Hampshire, USA
Size: about 3.6 mm
I had the bathroom heater going while I shot dermestids, making this one feel like flying in the summer heat. I've read that dermestids will not fly at temperatures below 80 degrees F.
