Carpet beetle (adult), likely a brown carpet beetle

Indoors, especially near textiles, stored goods, floor edges, and windows; larvae develop in dark, undisturbed areas.

Adults feed little or may take pollen; larvae consume keratin-rich materials, lint, hair, and dried animal products.

Adults are oval and brown; larvae are the damaging stage and may persist unnoticed in carpets, clothing, or stored materials.

Harmless to people and pets, but larvae can damage wool, silk, feathers, and other natural-fiber items. Image-based identification is uncertain; a close-up could help distinguish similar small beetles.
