Nature and Culture:
Carpet beetles are insect pests of the dermestid family. Adults feed mainly on pollen and nectar, but the larvae feed on the animal protein keratin found in wool, other animal hair and feathers, and may also feed on stored grain products.
Unlike bed bugs, carpet beetles do not bite humans. The stiff hair on the larvae may irritate skin and mimic the irritations of bites. However, they can cause significant damage to woolen fabrics, silk, and fur garments.f you find yourself with a carpet beetle infestation, this has probably come from one or two beetles that found their way into your home. Since the adults feed on pollen, one of the most common ways they sneak their way in is on cut flowers you may bring into your home.
