Tribolium confusum, commonly known as the confused flour beetle, is a small insect belonging to the family Tenebrionidae. It is typically found in stored grain products, such as flour and cereals, where it can cause significant damage. Adult beetles are reddish-brown and measure about 3 to 4 millimeters in length. This species is often confused with the similar Tribolium castaneum, or red flour beetle. Tribolium confusum thrives in warm, dry environments and can reproduce quickly, making it a common pest in food storage facilities. Effective pest management strategies are essential to control its population and protect food supplies.
