Hey, I bought a large box/bag of crushed walnut by Franford Arsenal. Inside the bag there are hundreds of dead tiny beetles. I didn’t think much about it until tonight (it’s been about 2 months since I bought the bag which is in my basement) when I’ve found a bunch of tiny beetles in our tub upstairs? They don’t look exactly the same, but darn close.

Has anyone had these beetles in their crushed walnut?

I left the bucket I sift into in the barn, about 1/2 full of cob media and no lid. Sometime over a couple weeks the cats decided it was a litter box. I was pouring it back in the tumbler and saw something fall in there that didn't look like it belonged. Fished it out by hand and figured out I was holding a cat turd. What's odd is those cats had never seen a litter box before.
