Snug as a Bug...

Description


Took a while to ID this little guy...it's a varied carpet beetle - hence the title... This beetle is a common species often considered a pest in domestic houses where the larvae may damage natural fibers. The adults (like this fellow) feed on the pollen and nectar of flowering plants.
