Could Anyone ID This Beastie For Me?

Morning all. It's not the greatest of shots, I know, but I wondered what this thing was. I see them every now and then crawling on the walls of my flat, but have never felt moved to photograph one.

They look a bit like tiny ladybirds to the naked eye.

No Idea- but I would take steps to remove them If I lived in that flat

Not actual size. It's only about 2-3mm long. Not doing any harm (even if it is woodworm. There's barely a snack in my flat. )

It is a tiny varied carpet beetle (Anthrenus verbasci), they are pretty small so you done well finding it, but they are a pest you you should seek advice from a pest control company.

Awesome, thanks. It stuck out like a sore thumb on my white wall.

A "serious household pest". I'll get rid next time I see one then.
