Does anyone know what this insect is? It's very flat.
Thank you in advance!

Is it a baby ladybird 🐞 maybe 🤔?

It's a very distinctive shape but I can't place it. Any other clues? Where was it, any egg casings lying around, do you have pets?

Carpet beetle?

Right I'm far too invested in a random stranger's random bug 🤣 So I have googled it for you @thyroidquery and my vote is a flatbug [[aradus depressus

Looks like a shield bug, there are lots of variations of markings

I would say carpet beetle.
