Carpet Beetle

Indoor environments, particularly in dark, undisturbed areas near natural fibers, baseboards, and carpets.

Larvae feed on animal proteins including wool, silk, feathers, leather, and pet hair. Adults consume pollen and nectar.

Larvae actively avoid light and hide in fabrics, while adult beetles are frequently found near windows seeking to exit outdoors.

Larvae cause significant damage to textiles, clothing, and carpets. Adults are harmless pollinators.
