Tiny beetle -
Anthrenus verbasci
Durham, Durham County, North Carolina, USA
May 18, 2008
Size: 1 or 2 mm long
This tiny beetle showed up on a daisy in a meadow. My impression is that beetles of this species are abundant in this setting.

Thank you!
I should have guessed! I remember thinking that this would make a wonderful pattern for a carpet. Next time I'll try thinking a little more outside the box!
