Anthrenus fuscus Olivier

This is Anthrenus fuscus Olivier. The colour pattern is distinctive, also visible (if you squint a bit are the five articles in the antennae that are characteristic of this species.

body shape suggests it's not verbasci

quite interesting, though --and i hope this nice series shows enough for an expert to come up with a name...

Thanks V. Yes, verbasci body

Thanks V. Yes, verbasci body is more round. And antenna of this specimen is different from A. fuscus and from A. museorum....
