Lovely series - fraid to tell you it's a varied carpet beetle- named not because it looks like a carpet on legs but because the larvae eat natural fibre materials like wool carpets.

Great series Lance.

I hear wood floors are the in thing now, so you could be in luck... :D

Reminds me of a ladybird in a fur coat.
