I am concerned that my house may be infested with beetles that my crawling baby is finding and eating.

I live in the northern suburbs of Philadelphia. Every once in a while, these large beetles get into the house. They are brownish, angular, about an inch long, and buzz really loud when they fly.

The other day, I heard my rugrat (15 months) crunching on something in the living room, and when I went to check up on her, she presented me two pieces of one of these desiccated beetles. A large portion of it was missing (YUCK! GROSS!).

Well despite all the snow we’ve been having, I’ve found a live one in the house last night. I’ve just assumed they’ve been coming from outside, but now I’m worried they’ve colonized my house (although where big buzzing beetles hide is a mystery to me).

I’ve tried google searching to find a name, and I didn’t see it today (I wanted to snap a picture, but no such luck). Does anybody have any clue what I’m talking about. I don’t think they’re dangerous or poisonous or anything, just gross.
