Unidentified Beetle

[Candi]

Hey I'm just curious if anyone can identify this for me cause I keep seeing this in my room/closet now after I set up my grow room and I don't want to have anything that may ruin my crop. Thanks in advance!

It's reddish brown and about 3-4mm in length. Has antennae and wings. Any idea?

I've seen something similar out here, have no idea what it is. Have you tried looking on whatsthatbug.com?

soldier beetle! lucky you, those things DESTROY aphids. One of the best bio-control insects out there...if I find them outside, I'll bring them in.
