cfreidsma Posted May 15, 2017 Report Share Posted May 15, 2017 Hi everyone, While sitting and enjoying YouTube, this little guy crawled on my leg. Looks a lot like some sort of flour beetle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cfreidsma Posted May 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2017 I am kind of thinking grain beetle now. The head and mandible shapes match better. If anything knows the ID let me know. Either way I am keeping it and hoping it is a pregnant female. I'll keep it in the small cup for now with flour and dry foods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cfreidsma Posted May 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 Ah, alright. Never seen one of these before from Michigan. This year so far has been interesting. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
