Anthrenus parvus

Anthrenus parvus is a small carpet beetle species in the family Dermestidae, described by Casey in 1900. Like other members of the genus Anthrenus, the larvae likely feed on dried animal products including shed hair, skin cells, wool, and other keratinous materials. The species occurs in North America. Adults are typically 2–4 mm in length and may be found on flowers where they feed on pollen. The larvae are covered in setae that can cause irritation in sensitive individuals.
