Moved
Moved from Buffalo Carpet Beetle.
Pattern (sepecially dark dot in sides of pronotum) indicates this species, and not scrophulariae.

Thanks, Boris
These critters are beginning to interest me, mostly because of your IDs, and I think lots of them are out and about now.

Dermestidae: Anthrenus sp.
Probably Anth. scrophulariae.

The third time may be the charm
I've made three posts for failing to recognize a carpet beetle. Hopefully, I'll know after this. I was looking for more white in the pattern and also thought the front end was more weevilish. Thanks for the clarification, Donald.

This one
is a bit gloppy with something, but the correct color pattern is discernable.
