Definition
A genus of small beetles, commonly known as carpet beetles or furniture beetles, whose larvae damage textiles and stored foods.
Etymology
From Greek anthrenē 'bee' or anthriskos, possibly from anthos 'flower' because some species feed on pollen and flowers as adults.
Kelly Says
Carpet beetles are museum curators' nightmares and nature's recyclers—their larvae eat dead plant and animal fibers with such efficiency that they're actually used in research to clean skeletons for study. They're tiny but mighty destructive!
