Dermestes undulatus
carpet beetle, hide beetle
Dermestes undulatus is a hide beetle in the family Dermestidae. It has forensic importance due to its colonization of dried remains. Development is temperature-dependent, with faster development at higher temperatures. The species occurs in both North America and Europe, and is considered scarce in the United Kingdom where it was recently rediscovered in Wales.
Tachyporus browni
Tachyporus browni is a species of rove beetle in the family Staphylinidae, described by Campbell in 1979. It belongs to the genus Tachyporus, a group of small to medium-sized predatory beetles commonly found in diverse terrestrial habitats. Very few observations of this species have been documented, with only four records in citizen science databases. Its specific biology and ecology remain poorly understood due to limited study.
