    Any chance of a photo of a live one?
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    Has similarities to the black carpet beetle. Has your father put any old carpets out in the garden?

    I'm unfortunately familiar with carpet beetle. They don't look like that 😒
    In London. Keen but lazy.

    That looks very similar to something I found in my bed! It got flushed down the loo
    Life's tragedy is that we get old too soon and wise too late.

    They are only about 1mm long, very tiny little things.

    No carpet been put out.

    Try iSpot. They are really great at identifying what we can't.
    If you can get a live photo all the better.
