Carpet beetle (likely varied carpet beetle)

Homes, especially carpets, closets, upholstered furniture, and areas containing lint or natural fibers. Adults commonly occur near windows and flowers.

Adults feed mainly on pollen and nectar. Larvae consume keratin-rich materials such as wool, fur, feathers, dead insects, and shed skin.

Adults are oval and often mottled, while larvae are hairy and avoid light. Females lay eggs indoors, and larvae may damage fabrics for months before pupating.

Larvae can damage clothing, carpets, taxidermy, and other natural-fiber materials; their hairs may irritate skin or airways. They also help decompose animal remains and organic debris.
