Thorictodes heydeni
Thorictodes heydeni is a small beetle in the family Dermestidae, a group commonly known as skin beetles or carpet beetles. The genus Thorictodes is distinguished from related dermestid genera by specific morphological features of the antennae and body form. Records indicate this species has been documented in North America and Oceania, though detailed biological studies remain limited. Like other dermestids, members of this genus are generally associated with dried organic materials.
