Trogoderma anthrenoides
Trogoderma anthrenoides is a stored-product pest beetle in the family Dermestidae. Laboratory studies indicate it develops between 17.5-37.5°C at 70% relative humidity, with optimal egg production at 27.5°C. The species has been assessed as having only minor pest potential compared to more damaging relatives like T. granarium. Some larvae enter facultative diapause under adverse conditions. The species has been recorded in North America, Oceania, and Colombia.
