Carpet beetles are small, oval-shaped insects that are commonly found in homes and other buildings. They feed on a variety of materials, including carpets, clothing, and furniture. While carpet beetles do not typically bite humans, they can cause skin irritation in some cases.
The most common type of carpet beetle that bites humans is the varied carpet beetle. These beetles are typically black or brown in color, with a distinctive pattern of yellow and white spots on their backs. Varied carpet beetles are attracted to human sweat and other bodily fluids, and they may bite if they come into contact with exposed skin.
