There he is! fecking bar steward

[Spike]

Have had loads these bugs (well two or three a day maximum) in my bathroom. Have checked everywhere there but to no avail. Finally found the buggers tonight on google:

 

 

description here:

 

Plaster Beetles - Cryptophagus and Latridius species (Families Cryptophagidae and Lathridiidae)

Very small black or brown beetles (about 2 mm long), which frequently appear in newly-built and reconditioned houses. Several kinds may be found and often occur together. They feed on moulds and mildews and can only survive in damp conditions. The beetles may sometimes infest food stuffs, fabrics, carpets, etc., that have become mouldy. The conditions found in new and refurbished buildings suit them, since moulds may develop on recently plastered walls and ceilings before drying-out has been completed. Generally, the beetles soon disappear once everything has dried. Obviously, this can be hastened by keeping newly plastered and decorated rooms warm and well aired.

 

 

Strangely enough these barstewards have started appearing in my bathroom which is a bugger for mould and needs regular maintenance / cleaning (gets no direct sunlight you see).

 

Now i know who you are son, you are a dead mo fo.

 

bugger, on reflection, he's only appeared since i decided to wash and ait two duvets in the room so perhaps I should take some of the blame
