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.
Several species of Carpet Beetles may damage fabrics. Four species are most commonly encountered-the black carpet beetle, varied carpet beetle, common carpet beetle, and furniture carpet beetle. Together, this group is usually considered more economically important as fabric pests than the clothes moths.
