These tiny beetles were in great numbers on the flowers in my garden today. They are barely bigger than a pin head. I can't see much damage so they must be coming for the sweet stuff in the middle.

Nature never goes out of style
Nothing can compare to the original shapes of flora and fauna. Life is beautiful and while wandering around I regularly have a lucky find of some real pretty things. I used to take them home but nowadays I take my digital camera with me and leave them in place. They are my inspiration!

Carpet Beetles
Thanks!
Those are carpet beetles. They will climb in your house...any way they can and lay their eggs everywhere. The beetles and their larva will eat through fabrics or produce in your kitchen. They are harmless to humans but can cause some people who has ashthma some issues...kind of like ladybugs or roaches do. They are in almost every home to some degree but can get out of control easily....which is how they are in my house right now....lots of vacuuming and no more open windows.
Thanks Mariah, I've never seen them in the house, but then, they are so small...
Hope they don't cause you too much trouble.
