These insects are all over the flowers of my aruncus. They are very small, so I hope this enlargement is clear enough to be useful.

Unfortunately, they are not quite in focus; the one closest to the center looks suspiciously like a carpet beetle (see http://tinyurl.com/ycowta7 for an example). Try placing some on a plain piece of paper and rephotographing them. If they won't hold still long enough, put them in a refrigerator for several minutes beforehand.

Well, it was late and the light level low so I used the flash but not the macro setting. Resulting enlargement is no good but I'll do another tomorrow when the light is bright and I can use the macro.
