Varied Carpet Beetle on Pollen

Varied Carpet Beetle on Pollen
I have no idea why a Carpet Beetle would be found on flowers in my garden. I initially thought it was a variety of Ladybird. It's very pretty though!

Keith, die Käfer leben von Blütenpollen und Nektar. Die Larven ernähren sich von Haaren und Federn. Wenn sie ins Haus eindringen, fressen sie auch Textilien und Wolle. Deshalb achte darauf, dass sie draußen bleiben.
Sie sehen trotzdem schön aus!

Ha, ha............it took me ages to get an I.D. I originally assumed it was an obscure ladybird variety.

Glad you like it mate and thanks for stopping by!
