Newly recorded in Nova Scotia ( Figure 8 View FIGURE 8 ). Associated with carrion, they are saprophagous and predaceous ( Opitz 2002). Found on the skins and bones of dead animals, a predator of dermestid larvae; a pest on grain, silk, and food ( Knull 1951). This originally Palearctic species is now cosmopolitan. Known in Canada (Ontario and Québec) since at least 1895 ( Wickham 1895).
