Leider sind die Teppichkäfer (Anthrenus scrophulariae) so klein, dass man es fast nicht sieht. Aber die machen da einen Dreier😮😱 🤭

#FrivolerInsektenFreitag
Auf einer weißen Blüte sitzen drei schwarze Käfer mit einem orangen Längsstreifen in der Mitte und weißen seitlichen Flecken auf dem Rücken.

Supersnoezige keverlarve, toch? Dit is Anthrenus sp. en die ruimt rommel, zoals dode beestjes, op. Helaas snapt 'ie niet dat mijn insectencollectie geen rommel is.
Ik zal hem grootbrengen met een oude sok en ver buiten welke collectie dan ook vrijlaten...
Anthrenus sp.

Die #Dermestidae sind ja nicht die größten Sympathieträger, aber zum #HexapoDezember schauen wir genau hin und dann sind sie doch hübsch!

Anthrenus beetles can be quite pretty as adults but you don't want their larvae in your woollies, carpets or insect collections...

Wat een schatje! Inderdaad een van de spektorren (Dermestidae). Dit is nog een larve, waarschijnlijk een Anthrenus sp.

#ElkeDagEenInsect Voor de laatste keer een periode in de Algarve geweest😓. Kleine insecten zijn er volop zoals (als ik het goed heb?) de Spektor onbekend (larve). Ze vinden of zien is een andere kwestie. Deze spekkever zat in het appartement 3 mm groot. #algarve #kever

I sell carpet beetles carpets for a living. They're hard to get rid of.

Weten jullie nog dat keverlarfje (Anthrenus) van laatst? Die groeit gestaag. Het kakkerlaklijkje krimpt.

Also ich finde ja die Wollkrautblütenkäfer (Anthrenus verbasci) allerliebst🥰, den rechten habe ich allerdings hinauskomplimentiert😱 #HexapoDezember #Dermestidae

Apparently it's Taxonomist Appreciation Day! I'm not sure how I feel about naming species for people but selfishly prepared to make an exception for the lovely Anthrenus fosteri 😉Grateful to beetle taxonomist extraordinaire Graham Holloway for the honour (and 15 years of guidance and friendship)

Anthrenus scrophulariae, also known as the buffalo carpet beetle, can retract its head and antennae into a recess in the pronotum. It is a feared visitor in the large insect collections of museums. Its larvae can eat through entire insect boxes and thus destroy valuable collections.

The bane of entomologists- an Anthrenus dermestid beetle- still pretty cute in the field. This one was lurking in the chives.
photograph of a plump beetle with a small head and rather skinny legs for its size, coated in an animal-print pattern of white, burnt orange, and black scales, standing in near face view amid pale lavender flower petals.

🌤️ Moin allerseits 🌼 … ich wünsche euch einen allerbesten Donnerstag! 🌤️🌼😎😉

Foto: Kronenwucherblume 🌼 (Glebionis coronaria) mit Wollkrautblütenkäfer 🪲 (Anthrenus verbasci) 🌤️🌼🪲😉
Das Foto zeigt eine gelb-weiße Blüte, vermutlich eine Margeriten- oder Kamillenart, mit einem leuchtend gelben Zentrum. Auf der Blüte sitzt ein kleiner Käfer. Der Hintergrund ist unscharf und zeigt grüne Pflanzen.

Yesterday I moved flats. I'm quite pleased to have left behind the Carpet beetles (Anthrenus verbasci) and the False widow spider (Steatoda nobilis) I was apparently sharing with.
And the views from my new windows aren't too shabby either. :-)
