Identify this bug please. Picture inside.

Can someone please tell me what this little insect is? They've been showing up around my house (Los Angeles area):

They are very small, about 1/4 the size of a ladybug, like a small pebble. This picture shows it much larger than it actually is. Thanks in advance.

Fucking carpet beetles! Beware! They will eat the shit out of your silk and wool clothes.
