This is a carpet beetle in the genus Anthrenus, such as Anthrenus verbasci. These beetles often are found at windows trying to get outdoors after they have completed their development indoors. Their larvae (see https://c2.staticflickr.com/4/3297/3284196950_f0c1543191_z.jpg?zz=1 for an example) will feed on a wide variety of organic materials, including woolen/silk fabrics, feathers, furs, dry stored food products, etc. etc. The adult beetles themselves feed mainly on pollen.
