Hi
We are trying to figure out what these bugs are and where they are coming from. Do you have any idea?

Varied Carpet Beetle
Dear Mom needing…,
This is a Varied Carpet Beetle. Larvae feed on a variety of organic materials including the woolen fibers found in rugs. The rug in your photo looks like a wool rug. You should search our archives for images of the larvae. Other than the damage that the larvae do to home furnishings and museum collections, they pose no threat to your daughter. Adults feed on pollen.
