Drugstore Beetle (Stegobium paniceum)

The bread beetle is 2-3 mm long and has delicate yellow hairs on its brownish, oval body. The larvae of the bread beetle develop in all kinds of dry foodstuffs, such as baked goods, flour products, cookies, herbs, and spices. Even animal-based foodstuffs are not spared. Regular inspection of the pantry is strongly recommended to prevent a mass infestation from occurring.
