maybe yes .
Dono mine can’t fly . I gotta check the bin for more of them. How on earth could they get In there??

They are Staphylinid beetles, beyond that I dare not speculate.

Rove beetles for sure. Beyond that I have no clue, it's a VERY speciose group...

Are these pests able to fly ? That’s why I’m shocked they got in there . But I tossed the other frass out with fly invaders in it . I have a few captured wasn’t sure if I should just release them or keep them …

Sometimes they get through holes. Go and lay their eggs. It is that time of year. A roach habitat is a fine place to lays eggs.

here it is earwig season. So abondant. They are predators and not a nuisance outside, but when they swarm it is a lot.

spent three hours gardening today. Took some time to deadhead my peonies and oh my, they were EVERYWHERE. Even in the pots of plants i had to plant.

There aren’t any holes except on the lid so they would have had to fly into the enclosure.

Most species of rove beetle can utilize active flight, albeit ungainly, not very high or far. They have tiny wings and are more prone to running away.

So they couldnt climb into it? Of fall off something else onto the lid?

i doubt it is any wrong doing on your part.

if you have fears of other invaders, cover the holes with screen mesh. Problem solved.

if you cant buy mesh for whatever reason, mens bathing suits have mesh inside. Just cut that up. Voila.

They can indeed fly.

They can indeed fly.

That explains how they got in. They could’ve even gotten in after I removed it from the tank. Took a few days to dry out.
