Wikipedia description:

The common furniture beetle or common house borer (Anobium punctatum) is a woodboring beetle originally from Europe but now distributed worldwide. In the larval stage it bores in wood and feeds upon it. Adult Anobium punctatum measure 2.7–4.5 millimetres (0.11–0.18 in) in length. They have brown ellipsoidal bodies with a prothorax resembling a monk's cowl. The common furniture beetle is often confused with the drugstore beetle and cigarette beetle due to their similar appearance. The common furniture beetle can be distinguished from these other species by their lack of antennae as well as darker prothorax.
