 Anthrenus verbasci (Varied Carpet Beetle). | Great :( A carpet beetle. In their larval stage, they can damage natural fabrics but also feed on dust, lint, plant fibers, etc. One or two seem to be no reason to panic. I also read that they are a major threat to insect collections (don't have one) and essentially omnipresent in milk-powder factories. I found this one on our ceiling. bug guide (this photo): http://bugguide.net/node/view/1040292 UF: http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/ig089 |
