Open Help: Tick or Carpet Beetle
Please help me identify this insect. Sorry if the pics aren’t clear as I was freaking out.
This was after coming back from hiking. It was on my headscarf.
ChatGPT was suggesting carpet beetle but I don’t know about that and I’ve never seen ticks. It was round and shiny on top.
I also found out I have two bites on my elbow near each other.
