    Anthrenus spp

    Stats
    Adult beetle length 3 mm

    Appearance
    The varied carpet beetle and the museum beetle are the most commonly encountered by pest controllers. They have a speckled appearance which arises because of the many scales which cover the elytra and the prothorax which are black, white and yellow giving a spotted appearance.
