Looks like a carpet! 😲

Carpet beetle is made of carpet?

Lives in carpet, eats carpet, looks like carpet. Seems to be accurately named

This is incredible! Such common creatures yet so pretty when we view them at their level. Btw

Thanks for that, didn’t know about that sub.

What a beautiful mosaic!

It really is!

This is incredible. Jaw-dropping. Thank you so much for sharing it!

Thank you!

WOAH how did you get such a good picture with a microscope?

With lots of patience. At that magnification I have to use focus stacking (lots of pictures with slight refocusing between each one, then software stacks all the focused areas together to form one sharp image).

That’s a 70s shag carpet beetle <3

Looks like it’s embroidered!

Absolutely stunning picture!

my first thought was “what kind of computer mouse is that”

I can see the carpet! Who knew?

My skin started to prickle when I saw this

Now give me beetle carpet
