#Anthrenus
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).

Si queréis asustar a un entomólogo, susurradle al oído: Anthrenus 🗣️👂

Estos escarabajos de la familia Dermestidae se alimentan de restos animales y vegetales. Algunos, como A. museorum, constituyen graves plagas de colecciones 😱 (izq: ejemplar atacado, der: no atacado)

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

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 ❤️

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)...

Ik zie elke dag vlinders (en Anthrenus verbascii die mijn vlinders langzaam opconsumeren)

This beautifully patterned little guy was found exploring the kitchen counter. Guernsey carpet beetle (Anthrenus sarnicus). #macro #macrophotography #photography #wildlife #wildlifephotography #insects #naturephotography

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 🤯
