…n advantage to take a little preventive action to prevent the brown carpet beetle from moving into one’s home. This is best done by being frequent with the cleaning and vacuuming. And it is especially important to be thorough with the cleaning around cracks and crevices, where the brown fur scanner will naturally settle down. In this way, you can also most likely get rid of the larvae that need peace and quiet in the same place for long periods at…

…eetle has two antennas that are divided into 11 joints. The house longhorn beetle larva is almost milky white, but also has some dark chitin parts placed around its mouth. The larva is equipped with small legs that are barely visible to the naked eye. It can be up to 25 mm long. Biology and behavior The house longhorn beetle belongs to the family wooden bucks (Cerambycidae). It is rare to see the adult house longhorn beetle as they mostly stay in…

…een as thin threads and spun cocoons in the infested area. The development from larva to fully adult thief beetle lasts about 3 to 4 months if the larva has good conditions e.g., at room temperature. When the larvae are fully developed, they most often leave this safe area. This means that they sometimes have to climb obstacles such as packaging in kitchen cabinets or through soft wood. If you have had a visit from an Australian thief beetle, you…

…e borer beetle its characteristic speckled appearance. An adult deathwatch beetle larva grows about 1 centimeter long. The body shape of the larva is curved, and it is generally pale. However, its head is yellow-brown, while its jaws are dark brown. Biology and behavior In the period from March to June, it is mating time for the deathwatch beetle, and here it is noticed by a special kind of knocking. Through 6 to 8 quick knocks – which are repeate…

…an elongated little creature that is white, yellowish, or beige. But a fur beetle larva has a brown color and is hairy. In the end, it has a hair-brush, which makes it easy to recognize, size wise they are up to 1 cm long. One can take the ordinary fur- or carpet beetle larvae as a brown carpet beetle larva, as they are related. The easiest way to distinguish in between them, is by the location where they are found. If the larva is found indoors,…

…wood. Instead, it has a taste for starchy foods, hence the name. When the beetle larvae hatch, they leave circular holes in the material they have lived in. And these holes are confusingly like the holes in a tree that has hosted the borer beetle larvae. Bread beetles are not limited to one region, but are found all over the world. And often it is through shipping that the beetles are spread across the globe. Their history of shipping is not exac…

…and has, as beetles typically do, six legs. As a larva, the merchant grain beetle larva has a yellowish-white color all over its body and a dark head. The larva becomes about 3 to 4 millimeters long. The merchant grain beetle is sometimes confused with the sawtoothed grain beetle, as the two species are closely related. However, there are easy ways to tell the difference between the two, for instance by keeping an eye on the behavior of the specif…

…n devour the outer layers of the sapwood. If a conifer has been visited by larvae from the soft wood boring beetle, there will be visible signs. Under the bark, the larval passages will stand out clearly as approx. 1-millimeter-deep grooves, forming a large pattern in the wood. However, the grooves may be deeper than that. Just before the larva pupates, it gnaws even further into the tree. The larva digs approx. 1 centimeter down into the wood to…

…own to be a typical pest in various types of tobacco, but in general, both larvae and beetles can live on both plant, animal and dried food stuff. Some of the most typical food stuff will be rice, plants, dates, as well as different types of dried fruit. In addition, the tobacco beetle is a pest, that in rare cases can damage books and furniture. Prevention and pest control The tobacco beetle can be extremely difficult to control. If you have iden…

…, as the excrement from the longhorn beetles is yellowish. The development from larva to adult violet tanbark beetle takes in average 1-2 years. When the larva is fully developed, it will gnaw a 3-5 cm long passage into the wood, thereafter it will pupate in an enlarged den. It will close the den with rough wood dust. When fully developed, the violet tanbark beetle will emerge through the same hole as the larva entered and chew an oval exit hole o…

…or Although the wasp beetle tries its hardest to look like a wasp, it is a beetle. The wasp beetle is thus neither aggressive nor dangerous, but it tends to restless behavior, which can seem annoying to the people who do not like beetles and similar small animals. Before they are fully grown, wasp beetles also undergo a larval stage. While they are larvae, they prefer to stay in dead, dry deciduous tree in which they have hatched. It is only as ad…

…with you from the nature. Appearance As like most other beetles, the flour beetle larva is larger than a fully grown flour beetle. A flour beetle is just 2.5-4 mm long. It has a reddish-brown color and a very long hind body. Like most other beetles, it has six legs and, of course, antennas on its head. If you are not sure of the species, it can be recognized by its lively behavior. Since the flour beetle is an insect, it has a larval stage. The fl…

…which the larvae live mostly of the flower dust on them. However, a visit from the small larva can have a negative effect, as it can erode the seed plant on the flower so that it cannot bear fruit. A rape blossom beetle female can lay up to 100 eggs. The larvae hatch after one week, after which the subsequent larval development lasts about three weeks. When the larvae are fully grown, they let themselves fall to the ground. Here they dig themselv…

…r dried food, they like to prey on other insects. Both ham beetles and ham beetle larvae like to eat smaller insects. However, the larvae are the hungriest, and therefore eat significantly more than ham beetles. Damage Although, as mentioned, there are three different species of Necrobia in Denmark, there are only two of them that can be a nuisance. The red-legged ham beetle (Necrobia rufipes) and the red-necked ham beetle (Necrobia ruficollis) go…

…ction. The wood dust is powdery, but coarser than that made by powder post beetle larvae and more tightly packed ( see p. 128). Wood wasp exit holes in timber Woodwasps The exit holes have a diameter of up to 1 cm. They are circular, with completely smooth edges, and look as though they had been bored with a 10 mm drill. Wood wasps occur only in conifers, the larval tunnels being made in both sapwood and heartwood. The coarse wood dust is so tigh…

…arvae are temperatures of 32 degrees. At this temperature, the development from egg to larva to fully grown takes 25 days. If the temperature is 20 degrees, the development takes 2 months and if the temperature is below 18 degrees it will not be possible for the sawtoothed grain beetle to reproduce. Damage Sawtoothed grain beetles are often found in the company of other grain pests in grain storage. It is not very likely that the saw-toothed grain…

…lasts about a month. At colder temperatures or in the absence of food, the larvae can develop from egg to adult for several months. The Dermestes haemorrhoidalis can hatch all year round, but it is most often in the months of May-June that they appear, and where you can most often encounter the adult beetle. Under laboratory conditions at 18-20 degrees, the adult beetles live for approx. five months and the female lays approx. 180 eggs distributed…

…e fall, and within a few weeks, the pupa will have developed into an adult beetle. However, the beetle will remain inside the tree until May-June, and then it will emerge from the tree, through a characteristic fly hole of a diameter of 2-3 mm. The dust from the fly hole will be dark yellow, as the wood the beetle feed on is rotten. The natural habitat for the beetle is rotten coniferous trunks or branches. But they can also be found in fence post…

…herwise the custom for most of the tree-drilling larvae. Their development from larva to adult wharf borer beetle lasts between 1 to 3 years, depending on the conditions in the tree. Damage There is no doubt that wharf borer beetles can do great damage if they attack in the wrong places. It can for instance be an extremely difficult task if the beetles attack basements in houses located on framed wooden poles (piloting). And if the attack is large…

…a slow process that normally lasts between 2 and 3 years. The development from larvae to fully grown woodboring beetle can take up to 8 years. The environment plays a major role, as humidity, temperature and the nature of the wood are some of the factors that can influence the development in both positive as well as negative direction. The optimal temperatures are around 22 to 23 degrees and the relative humidity should preferably be around 100%,…

…cereals. It takes a long time for the mealworm to develop; the development from egg to larva and to adult beetles can vary between 280 and 630 days. The development variate so much because they are highly depende on the temperature and humidity of the environment as well as the nutrition of the larva. The ideal temperature for the mealworms is 26 degrees. When the larva is fully developed, it will pupate. This stage lasts just two weeks, after whi…

…his does not mean that their presence cannot present challenges. An attack from the borer snout beetles in interaction with moisture in the woodwork can have an accelerating effect on the degradation of the wood. Since borer snout beetles go after woodwork that is damp, woodwork in bathrooms or damp basements will be particularly vulnerable to attack. Prevention and pest control An attack from the borer snout beetle indoors will always have a caus…

…r weeks at 30 degrees. At 20 degrees it takes 2.5 to 3 months. The process from larva to adult bean beetle takes place exclusively inside the bean, where they can even hollow it out completely. The highest documented number of larvae in one bean is recorded at 28 pieces. The given temperatures also play a significant role in the reproduction and development of the bean beetles. If the temperature is 27 to 31 ° C, it is in the bean beetle’s favor,…

…rvae gnaw their own small passages from the mother passage. The small bark beetle larvae live mostly on the liquid that comes from the tree and which leaks into the passages. This is a real meal for the larvae, as the liquid is quite sugary and starchy. The bark beetles are not picky when it comes to choosing wood. And they like to attack deciduous trees as well as conifers. In imported woods of a tropical nature, one can even find traces of the w…
