Unidentified small beetle (likely carpet beetle)

Indoors near fabrics, carpets, upholstered furniture, and stored natural-fiber materials; adults may occur near windows or flowers.

Larvae consume keratin-rich materials such as wool, fur, feathers, hair, and dead insects. Adults generally feed on pollen and nectar or little at all.

Larvae are concealed, slow-moving, and shed bristly hairs; adults are compact, rounded beetles that may wander indoors. Development can take months to over a year depending on temperature and food.

They do not bite or transmit disease, but larvae can damage textiles and occasionally irritate sensitive skin through shed hairs. They help decompose animal-derived organic material outdoors.
