Anthrenus verbasci
This tiny 2mm long beetle had wavy markings of white, black, ochre and yellow on the elytra. His antennae were clubbed. Could not make much else of the details.
A serious pest, this is an invasive species that lives and destroys organic material - clothes, furniture, carpets.
I was so excited to find him until I discovered what he was.

Martin, I've added him to the beetles mission but will happily remove him as he is a serious and invasive pest.
So small.. such a trouble maker.
