Dermestid Beetle

Dermestid Beetle

5800  Hello, found this little guy on my pillow this morning in my apartment. About 4mm long. I believe he has wings but has not flown. I don’t have any bites on me (I’ve had bedbug bites in the past while travelling). No other signs of bugs or feces. Please keep me know what you think.  Thanks, Jill

This is a beetle in the family Dermestidae (hide/skin/carpet/larder beetles, etc.); it looks like an Attagenus sp. (black carpet beetles and allies). See http://tinyurl.com/zl9w25c elsewhere on this site for control/management suggestions.  Ed Saugstad, retired entomologist; Sinks Grove, WV.
