I keep finding this tiny beetle on bed once a day #573575

Asked June 24, 2019, 12:59 PM EDT

Can someone help me identify? By the way the beetle barely moves and can’t fly and won’t bite me it’s always seen on my bed

Try searching google for images of black carpet beetle, see if they match what you have. The image I'm looking at has already been enlarged a lot, to it is hard for me to see additional characteristics. The UK Entomology website has a fact sheet on managing various types of carpet beetles. If you are still uncertain, bring it to your county extension office, identifications are free.
