Dermestes lawrencei

Dermestes lawrencei

The adult beetle likely occupied dry terrestrial habitats where animal remains and other protein-rich debris were available. It used its mandibles to feed and could fly between scattered food sources or shelter. Like other dermestid beetles, its hardened wing covers protected the folded flight wings beneath.
