Cryptolestes ferrugineus is a 1.5-2.5 mm long species of lined flat bark beetle, possibly native to Europe.[2][3] It currently has a cosmopolitan distribution, and is referred to by the common name the rusty grain beetle. It is one of the most common pests of stored grains, grain products, dry plants and dry plant products.[4]
