Thanks!
I'll have to find something more interesting for you to identify- you seem to be getting a lot of practice telling people they have dermestids. :)

 
If Phillip won't guess...
If Phillip won't guess I won't either, but I will observe that they look consistent with genus Anthrenus, as one possibility.

Ooops, that almost sounds like a guess, doens't it!

Go ahead!
You and I don't have the same professional reputation to maintain, so we have the luxury of guessing. I say they look exactly like Anthrenus- but, what do I know? :)
