Anthrenus museorum (Linnaeus, 1761)  |
||
| This is a very small species, with sizes ranging from around 2-3mm. It is extremely similar at first glance to the Carpet Beetle Anthrenus verbasci, but Anthrenus museorum is noticeably darker in general appearence. It is a destructive species, being famous for completely destroying collections of set insects, hence the common name of Museum Beetle. The one photographed was found indoors at Nettleworth Manor in May 2009. | ||
