Reesa is a monotypic genus of beetles in the family Dermestidae, the skin beetles. The sole species is Reesa vespulae. This beetle is native to the Nearctic, but today it can be found nearly worldwide; it is easily introduced to new areas.[1]
This beetle can be identified by two reddish bands on its elytra, black setae, and antennae tipped with clubs divided into four segments. Only female individuals have been observed; it is believed to be parthenogenetic.[1]
This species, like several other dermestids, is a museum pest. It feeds on dried animal products such as museum specimens.[1]

Reesa vespulae dorsal view
Reesa es un género monotípico de escarabajos de la familia Dermestidae. Su única especie, Reesa vespulae, es nativa del Neártico, pero se ha difundido por todo el mundo.[1]
Se lo identifica por las dos bandas rojizas en los élitros, setas negras y antenas terminadas en mazos de cuatro segmentos. Solo se conocen hembras y es posible que sean partenogenéticos.[1]
Es una plaga de los ejemplares de museos porque se alimenta de materiales secos.[1]
