Anthrenus sp.
Dermastidae, Dermastinae, Anthrenini, Anthrenus sp., very similar to the common Anthrenus pimpinellae (almost global!) and Anthrenus goliath. I slightly and shyly would tend to Anthrenus goliath. In Greece you might find other species and we would need a real expert for confirmation.
Depending on the markings there might be only slight differences and maybe you would need the native specimen to get to the safe ID. I try to find out a little bit more. At least I did a little bit more research about this one compared to my disastrous dragonfly ;-)...
