Skin Beetles a.k.a. carpet
Carpet beetles (Dermestid Beetles, Skin Beetles, Larder Beetles), this time of year, yes and they are hungry. Measuring up to 4 mm they have oval-shaped black, white and yellow patterned bodies. The larval stage is this beetle’s damaging stage. Although the adult beetles feed on seeds, plants and flowers, the larvae consume fabric, fur and natural fiber carpets. Often an infestation is recognized by the existence of adult carpet beetles, which gather around windows and lights. Adult carpet beetles are good fliers, unlike many other beetles. Carpet beetles feed on a variety of materials, including carpets, feathers, leather, silk, wool, felt and fur. Carpet beetle infestations tend to go overlooked, allowing them to cause severe damage to bedding, clothes, pillows, carpets and upholstered furniture. Seriously infested items can be perforated with holes and damage.
