About

Fully grown Australian Carpet Beetle

The Australian Carpet Beetle is one of several species of carpet beetles found in homes all around the world, despite its name. Their larvae feed on all sorts of natural materials like fur, wool and leather. Don't freak out, if you see a single one of them, it is unknown what they feed on as grown beetles, but it might be the conditions in your apartment were just ideal for the beetle to stay for a bit. If you see more than one, check your stored clothing and carpets for small holes and tears.
