Hi I live in the midwest (Wisconsin), these have recently started appearing all over my basement. Anyone know what they might be? They are about 2.5 mm long and they are quite active. I don't keep any food items in the basement they they would be able to fed on. enter image description here

    I'd look hard through your possible food storage areas; they may not be infesting the sorts of foods you'd expect, I've definitely seen some relatives here in WI. See for examples https://extension.umn.edu/product-and-houseplant-pests/pantry-pests-insects-found-stored-food#beetles-55711 https://hortnews.extension.iastate.edu/red-flour-beetle https://hort.extension.wisc.edu/articles/sawtoothed-grain-beetle/ I'm not certain which exactly you have, I'm guessing @theforestecologist can either provide a more definitive answer here or mark as a duplicate of the related ID. – Bryan Krause Mar 12 '21 at 21:22
