Fur Beetle
Attagenus pellio
Adult fur beetles are small oval dermestid beetles found around flowers, windows, nests, and indoor resting sites. They feed mainly on pollen and nectar, while their flight helps them disperse to new nesting or storage areas. The mottled wing cases form a hard shield over the flight wings when at rest. Females seek dry animal-based materials where larvae can develop.
