2 more appeared today.

Varied Carpet Beetle
Dear sblueduckx,
This is a Varied Carpet Beetle, Anthrenus verbasci, and you can read all about it in our archives or on BugGuide. We have been responding to several identification requests each day for various species of Carpet Beetles and their larvae.
