Powder-post Checkered Beetle
Tarsostenus univittatus
Adult powder-post checkered beetles occur around dry wood, old timber, and buildings where wood-boring beetles are present. They are active runners and fliers that inspect cracks and emergence holes while seeking small insect prey and suitable places to reproduce. Their larvae are valued as natural enemies of destructive powder-post beetles in stored and structural wood.
