Unidentified small beetle (possibly a carpet beetle)

Carpet beetles commonly occur indoors in carpets, upholstery, closets, stored fabrics, and beneath furniture, as well as outdoors on flowers and plants.

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

Larvae hide in dark, undisturbed areas and may damage natural-fiber textiles. Adults are often attracted to light and enter buildings through windows or small openings.

They do not bite or transmit disease, but larval hairs can irritate skin and infestations can damage clothing, rugs, and taxidermy. Outdoors, adults contribute to pollination and decomposition.
