Hi Steve & All,
For those who might be interested, an excellent 215 page book on
Beetles associated with stored products in Canada, can be downloaded from--
http://sci.agr.ca/winnipeg/storage/pubs/beetles.pdf
In addition to being well written, it is free and does not collect
dust or take up shelf space. Some of the art work is exceptional and
worth the download for this alone.
Yt, DW
