I saw my cat watching something at the window and saw what appeared to be a juvenile ladybug (of some sort) crawling around. It was only 2-3mm long, lots smaller than ladybugs I'm used to seeing, and it wasn't the usual color. I had the camera handy, grabbed a flash and got off a few shots. These are the best 2 of the bunch. No stacking, just a single shot of each.
C&C welcome!

Thanks for the ID, but now I'm worried I may have more of them in the house. They don't look to be good houseguests.:(

Like the first shot, could do with brightening a touch IMHO.

LOvely carpet beetle shots.

BTW these are named not because the adult looks like it has a carpet on it's back but because the larvae eat carpets !
