Thank you for pointing me in the right direction. :) I am not sure if it is solved but in searching images online it most looks like a furniture carpet beetle or varied carpet beetle (anthrenus flavipes or anthrenus verbasci) leaning towards the later due to the zig zag pattern. I included a picture found online which seems to have part of his wing sticking out the back (not typically seen like that). I can't find any larvae so far but I have found at least 4 alive, and one dead adult beetles. Northern California. No carpet in home but plenty of furniture clothes and air ducts etc.
