Anthribidae · netikrastraubliai

The antennae are not elbowed, may occasionally be longer than the body and thread-like, and can be the longest of any members of Curculionoidea.

Most anthribids feed upon fungi or decaying plant matter, and the larvae feed within dead wood. Some species feed upon seeds, a few are stored product pests, and, unusually, Anthribus feeds upon soft scale insects.
