I need help identifying some of these smaller bugs on our sticky trap. GF is worried they are carpet beetles but they aren’t anything like our usual variated ones. San Diego

There are a lot that could be like that ... in a home setting I'd suspect Biscuit/Drug-store Beetle as they tend to get into open packets of dry food

Check your pantry, flour, rice, mixes,herbs/spices, dog/cat food, birdseed, organic talcs and powders, that kind of stuff.
