Dermestes maculatus

The hide beetle, Dermestes maculatus DeGeer, feeds on carrion and dry animal products. These beetles form aggregations around resources where individuals will feed and mate, attracted by pheromones secreted by males. D. maculatus is a minor pest of the silk industry. Other commodities that D. maculatus can damage include stored animal products such as dried fish, cheese, hide, fur, bacon, and dog treats.
