#beetle
Found a little friend on the trail
Made an offering of pawpaw. Passalids primarily eat wood, but this one was very excited by the fruit
Offering accepted
Enjoy your fruit, sir

Google reckons it’s a varied carpet beetle

An emissary of Khepri offers you the chance to start a new chapter of your story whenever you need to. The sun rises for you tomorrow, again and again.

Khepri is an Ancient Egyptian god of the rising sun, creation, and renewal, and is frequently depicted as a beetle. He has strong associations with rebirth as He rolls the freshly-created sun across the sky every morning.
