Found a few of these on my carpet in Northern England over last few weeks.
Range from 3mm to about 6mm.

Anyone help out?

Worried it could be a form of wood eating beetle.

Pic can here...

Some sort of larder beetle, I think. Not D. lardarius, though, but could
well be another Dermestes (size!)
Definitely nothing chewing up wood - so your roof will stay above you
while you hunt them down ;)

Cheers, Uli
