Carpet Beetle - Apsectus hispidus
Mobile (Dog River), Mobile County, Alabama, USA
April 27, 2015
Size: 1~2mm
I just thought I've seen hairy, before. I first thought fungus beetle or dusky lady, but haven't found match for antennae.
I give up! Would someone please help me with this hippy beetle?
Thank you

Moved, nice find.
Atypical habitus for this family, but the antennae are very dermestid-like.

Moved from ID Request.
