Beetle Identification

[Ron Weasley 83]

Hi all,

 

Had a call from a customer today asking me to ID some beetles that they'd found in their house. They didn't want me to visit them, but emailed through some pictures. They're not the most clear ever, but all I have. The customer says that they are about 10mm in length.

 

 

I'd appreciate the help if anybody can offer it!

 

Cheers.

Thanks watchman. I though that it was a chafer immediately on seeing the pictures, but I thought that they were perhaps a little small.

Hi Ron its not much to go on by but they look some what like a, and i will give you the latin name, "ptinus Fur L" but they grow to about 4.4 mm long. maybe you can ask them where exactly did they find them i.e food or garden etc. hope this will help.

Look like May Bugs (Cockchafer) to me.....but pictures aren't that distinct.

Looks like a cockchafer to me too they can grow big but they will be a lot of different sizes i've found. The one i have at home is well over an inch long!
