Dear Experts,

Lately, I've been noticing some insects in my home.
On the second floor for the most part.

Here are some pictures of them:

They move slow around the room. Sometimes they fly.
But for the most part, they just walk around.
Rather slowly. Not like a swift housefly. I
can snag them with a tissue pretty easily.


What kind of insects are these?
How do I get rid of them?

Thanks a lot!

Years ago, I had something in my travel trailer that I couldn't get rid
of. I also had some wool carpet that had apparently disintegrated.
Finally, I wound up putting a few of them in a bottle and took them to
an expert professor at the local university. The guy actually seemed to
enjoyed identifying the bug and talking to me, incidentally. It turned
out to be a carpet beetle (duh).

Anyway, if you are really concerned and can't get a definitive answer
and you have a university close by, you might want to do what I did.
