The Bird Nest Carpet Beetle (Anthrenus pimpinellae) is a species of small beetle belonging to the family Dermestidae (skin or carpet beetles). While the adult beetles are harmless pollinators that feed on flowers outdoors, their bristly larvae are scavenger pests that feed on dry, protein-rich animal materials.
