Confused flour beetles are a common model organism in science.

Several confused flour beetles were experimental subjects on the Bion 1 spacecraft, launched in 1973.

Survival & reproduction of confused flour beetles exposed to fungus metabolites.

They look exactly like Confused Flour Beetle except with three clubs at the end of their antennae.

Additionally, red flour beetles have been known to fly short distances, while confused flour beetles do not.

The red flour beetle is able to fly short distances and the confused flour beetle is unable to fly.

Two different types of beetles are classified as flour beetles: the red flour beetle and the confused flour beetle.

The beetles are probably the red flour beetle, Tribolium castaneum, or the confused flour beetle, Tribolium confusum.

The confused flour beetle is very similar in appearance and habit to the red flour beetle, Tribolium castaneum and the destructive flour beetle, Tribolium destructor.

Confused flour beetle, Tribolium confusum Jacquelin du Val, and red flour beetle, Tribolium castaneum (Herbst).

These insects should not be confused with younger mealworms (Tenebrio molitor) or with the confused flour beetle (Tribolium confusum), which is also occasionally used as a reptile feeder insect.

The primary distinguishing physical difference is the shape of their antennae: the confused flour beetle's antennae increase gradually in size and have four clubs, while the red flour beetle's antennae have only three.

While the confused flour beetle is more commonly found in the northern United States, the red flour beetles are more predominant in the southern United States in areas with warmer climates.

The confused flour beetle (Tribolium confusum), a type of darkling beetle known as a flour beetle, is a common pest insect known for attacking and infesting stored flour and grain.

Several species of Tenebrio and Tribolium (e.g. Confused Flour Beetle T. confusum, or T. destructor) and other genera (e.g. Gnathocerus cornutus) are pests of cereal and flour silos and other storage facilities.

The red flour beetle is of Indo-Australian origin and less able to survive outdoors than the closely related species Tribolium confusum.
