I keep finding these little bugs in my house around springtime. They appear for a couple months, not loads but i find one maybe 1 every couple days. I have no idea what it is and should I be concerned!

For reference, I don't have pets, windows are always open from the minute I wake up to the time I look to put kids to bed and I have a garden which is 70% grass and flower bedding if that helps!

Looks like a Beetle or Ladybird

It's just a type of ladybird isn't it?

I agree, it looks like a carpet beetle.

Double posted and didn't realise! Yes its definitely carpet beetles and apparently nothing to worry about as only 1 every now and then, but going to do a deep clean tomorrow!

They can come in the house on plants, or cut flowers.
