Hello,
Thank you to all who answered my question on the unidentified beetle hanging
around my equipment.  It appears that the winner is the Larder Beetle.
 Special thanks to Dave Pheling for the link:

I first noticed this beetle at one out yard, then brought it home with some
dead-outs. (I, like Aaron mentioned, have some items in storage I am not
proud of.)  In reading about it, I sure hope it doesn't find its way into
the house.  My wife still reminds me about the time I left an old super in
the basement and later went on a business trip.  I returned home to find a
jar of wax moths that was collected throughout the house, and left on my
pillow.  Let's just say I was less popular than the moths.

Thanks again,
