I saw this group of tiny objects moving around on a cluster of bok choy flowers on March 17, 2018.

Carpet beetles are mostly known for destroying  carpets, furniture, clothing, and insect collections. They are also occasionally found eating pollen and nectar, as this little group seemed to be doing.
