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

Si voleu espantar un entomòleg, xiuxiuejeu-li a l'orella: "Anthrenus" 🗣️👂

Aquests escarabats, pertanyents a la família Dermestidae, s'alimenten de restes animals i vegetals. Alguns, com A. museorum, són plagues greus a col·leccions (esq.: borinot atacat; dreta: no infestat).

Yes, this beetle can act as a pollinator, although this is not its primary "profession " function. 🌸🪲🤍 (Read the ALT text)

The photo shows a beetle from the Dermestidae family, most likely the scaly-faced beetle (Anthrenus pimpinellae), a small beetle in the Dermestidae family, typically 2.5–4 mm long. Or a closely related species, such as the museum beetle or mullein beetle. Behavioral Features: Feeding of Adults: Adult beetles (imagoes) are often found on flowers, where they feed on pollen and nectar. Flying from flower to flower in search of food, they carry pollen on their legs and body, thereby facilitating pollination. Habitat: In the wild, they are common inhabitants of gardens and meadows, and are particularly attracted to white umbel-shaped inflorescences. Dual role: Despite its usefulness as an outdoor pollinator, this beetle is considered a serious household pest. Its larvae feed on organic materials: fur, wool, leather, dry insects, and stored food. Important: Seeing this beetle on garden flowers is normal. However, bringing them into your home is undesirable, as they can lay eggs that hatch into voracious larvae that can damage your belongings.

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.

Took pics of two very differently sized pollen and nectarvores this evening—black tailed honeybee (Bombas melanopygus), about the size of my thumbnail, and varied carpet beetle (Anthrenus verbasci), about the size of a small sesame seed

Linksonder is te klein en onscherp, kan ik niet zien, maar linksboven is een soort tapijtkever, Anthrenus, ook wel museumkevers genoemd. Sommige soorten eten namelijk je halve collectie weg. Zijn we als de dood voor bij @naturalis.bsky.social, maar ik denk dat deze niet de meest verschrikkelijke is.

This Varied Carpet Beetle (Anthrenus verbasci) joined me on my yoga mat. At just 2mm it narrowly avoided being crushed under a downward dog.
I rarely see these beetles and we have a healthy ecosystem in the house so I am not worried about them being a nuisance! 😀

Anthrenus sp. in the dog's water bowl! Rescued and placed outside.
Nice photo...used my wife's phone...
She's very understanding ❤️
Beetle on water. carpet beetles are household pests, and like wool, fur etc. Amazing camouflage in browny white.

I'm experimenting with some new kit for my #backyardnature and #entomology photographs: a petri dish with white tissue holding the specimen in place while I use my phone to photograph through a magnifying loupe. The second image is a varied carpet beetle (Anthrenus verbasci)...
A petri dish with white tissue (to hold the specimen in place) and an illuminating loupe, through which I'll take pictures with my iPhone. A mottled-brown-and-white varied carpet beetle (Anthrenus verbasci), photographed through an illuminated loupe.

Kan ook de larve van een museumkever of andere Anthrenus zijn. 😊 Ze ruimen dood organisch afval op, dus tenzij je kostbare huiden of een insectencollectie hebt, zijn ze vrij onschuldig.

That time I kept a carpet beetle larva and it started to eat its way through the plastic container 😳

Really hits home that polystyrene is an organic molecule. Other beetle larvae, like mealworms, are known to feed on it too.

But I mean 🤯

#Dermestidae #Anthrenus
A small hairy beetle larva sits in the seam of a plastic container with tiny frass pellets all around it. Next to it on the wall of the plastic is a rough, concave patch where the larva chewed. Shown from the outside of the container, a small hairy beetle larva has its face in a concave patch where the larva chewed the plastic. #6 PS polystyrene symbol on plastic
