Small carpet beetle (likely a varied carpet beetle)

Homes, upholstery, carpets, closets, and stored natural-fiber materials; adults may occur on flowers outdoors.

Larvae eat keratin-rich materials such as wool, fur, feathers, hair, and dead insects; adults mainly feed on pollen and nectar.

Adults are small, rounded, and mottled; larvae hide in dark, undisturbed areas and may cause damage while developing. Several generations can occur annually indoors.

Not dangerous to people, though larval hairs can irritate sensitive skin and infestations damage textiles. They help decompose animal remains outdoors but are nuisance household pests.
