Varied carpet beetle, Anthrenus verbasci, Dermestidae

Found throughout the world, the varied carpet beetle is commonly found in homes. Larvae feed primarily on animal fibers like wool, feathers, fur, leather, hair, hide, dead bugs, silk, and dry pet food. While not harmful, they can be destructive. Adults feed on flower nectar and only incidentally enter homes, especially in spring, often to find a food source to lay eggs near.

Tiny carpet beetle. I was bored, so I took pictures. I think the pattern on this beetle's back would look good on a sweater.

Zendaya at the Met Gala 2024, wearing custom Maison Margiela Artisanal by John Galliano, and hat by Stephen Jones.

The fruit, flowers, insects and birds on the gown fit the dress code of the night, 'The Garden of Time', inspired by J.G. Ballard's 1962 short story (explained here by the BBC).

The gown also references John Galliano’s Spring 1999 couture collection for Dior, in particular the gown below, decorated with grapes.

Maison Margiela said:

'A sage lamé bias-cut ‘siren dress’ overlaid with iridescent electric blue organza with ‘retrograding’ in undulating bands of hand-painted metallic crin, swathed in an aluminium material and iridescent organza drape and bow, with a corsage hand-embroidered in a bacchanal of hand-painted impasto in the grammar of the electric blues and emerald greens of scarab amulets, with formations of birds, flowers, vines, grapes and nuts, worn over a boudoir-coloured duchess satin corset. A silver metal-wire ‘reverse swatching’ hat and a black hand-painted voile crafted in the memory of plume and enveloped in matching coloured stockings by Stephen Jones for Maison Margiela, and Eau de Nil velour and faux lizard Tabi interlaced ankle-strap pumps by Christian Louboutin for Maison Margiela.

Created for Zendaya by John Galliano for Maison Margiela, the haute couture silhouette was inspired by the 1930s mythological works of the photographer Madame Yevonde and imbued with the memory of the orgiastic sceneries of the bacchanals of Ancient Greece. In a dance between painterly cutting and draping techniques – unique to each layer of the construction – and the superposition of fabric textures such as tin foil with transparent iridescent organza overlay, the composition conjures the staccato brushstrokes of Giovanni Boldini. The bias-cut ‘siren dress’ is a key expression in the creative practice of John Galliano, which first appeared at Maison Margiela in the Spring-Summer 2020 Artisanal Collection. Infused with a certain ‘snobisme’, the look is given the epithet of ‘86 and Lexington’, a nod to the subway station near The Met.

The dress was crafted with ‘retrograding’, a technique through which variations of thread-work, appliqué or encrustation degrade from the bottom to the top of a garment like the linear base drawing of a painting that hasn’t yet been finished. The ‘reverse swatching’ technique employed in the hat exchanges the fabrics traditionally used for certain parts of dressmaking with materials of a contrasting value.' X

@takexthisxlight submitted: I'm seeing a lot of varied carpet beetle submissions, so here's a video of one enjoying some beetle jelly that I thought others might enjoy.

Sorry for the occasional out of focus-ness. Macro lenses require you to hold your phone very steady at a very specific distance to keep things in focus.

It's definitely carpet beetle hours lately! Tbh this is impressively focused given how tiny they are. And very cute. Nibblin....sippin......

Everlux attaching a yarn swift to their horn so they can wind their fancy silk blend cobweb weight skein onto a ball winder. Another everlux using two other everluxes to untwist a skein bc they don't own a swift and have to do it ad hoc. Everlux using their horn as the attachment point to Andean ply yarn. Everlux making woven cocoons for their little sibling on the world's smallest treadle loom. Everlux fiber crafts. Everlux fiber crafts drama. A hand dyer fakes their death because Sornieth carpet beetles got into their stock and they were too embarrassed to cancel orders. Battles to the death over accusations of weaving pattern theft but it looks like a beetle battle.
