Because household infestations are difficult to sample and monitor using standard direct surveys, we used photograph\u2010based identification requests from a public group on social media to investigate the composition, spatial distribution, and seasonal dynamics of stored\u2010product arthropods reported from households during 2020\u20132023.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>RESULTS<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      In total, 994 SPP records were collected. Beetles dominated the dataset, accounting for 64% of records, followed by psocids, moths, and mites. Dermestid beetles were the most frequent group, representing nearly one\u2010third of all records, while\n                      <jats:italic>Plodia interpunctella<\/jats:italic>\n                      was the dominant moth species. Overall, 47 species or higher determinable taxonomic units were recorded, showing that households provide diverse resources and microhabitats for SPPs. Immature stages and activity traces were frequent, particularly in dermestids and\n                      <jats:italic>P. interpunctella<\/jats:italic>\n                      . SPPs represented only 16% of all household arthropod identification requests and were less seasonal than non\u2010pest arthropods. Pest spatial distribution differed among rooms and substrates: food\u2010associated species were mainly linked to kitchens, psocids and mites to bathrooms and toilets, dermestids to bedrooms and walls or ceilings, and ptinids to multiple rooms, especially windows and windowsills.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>CONCLUSION<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Households support a diverse assemblage of SPPs from different taxonomic and functional groups. Our study highlights social media as a useful complementary source of data on household pests, providing insight not only into their occurrence, but also into the taxa most likely to attract public
