White-marked spider beetle

(Latin: Ptinus fur) Nowadays this European beetle is not as common as the Australian species just described. It eats the same kinds of food, including offal, but it is never a serious pest, partly because the female lays only about 50 eggs. This beetle is found both indoors and out in the open in Britain.
