This looks like a small beetle that has come in your home from a grocery store or something that you brought home such as a box or a stack of books or papers. The beetle can be destructive if you allow them to breed and multiple in your home. If this is the only one then you should be fine. If you find more of them set out some flypaper to trap them and throw them away. You can also vacuum them up and throw them out in the trash.

This looks like Anthrenus Scrophulariae- better known as a Carpet Beetle. This Beetle loves to destroy fabric, furniture fibers and carpet. en.wikipedia.org/.../anthrenus_scrophulariae

How many legs? It looks like a drugstore or a cigarette beetle. They eat dried goods. Sometimes they come home in flour or other grocery products--like how weevils do.

Best to do a good cleaning and vacuuming and that should do the trick.
