Most likely, you’ve met the Drugstore Beetle or the Cigarette Beetle. Yes, those are real names. They sound like a punk band from 1982.
They don’t smoke or sell medicine. They eat everything. Flour, crackers, dried flowers, even cayenne pepper. True story: they can eat poison and be just fine.
One species once munched through a box of strychnine and lived. That’s like you eating a whole bottle of hot sauce and asking for dessert. Hardcore.
