Carpet beetle larva (likely)

Indoors, especially along baseboards, under furniture, in closets, and among stored fabrics or natural-fiber materials. Adults may occur on flowers and windowsills.

Larvae feed on keratin-rich materials such as wool, fur, feathers, hair, dead insects, and lint. Adults primarily consume pollen and nectar.

Larvae are slow-moving, hairy, and hide in dark undisturbed areas; they molt repeatedly and may leave shed skins. Adults are often attracted to light and reproduce indoors when food accumulates.

Larvae can damage clothing, rugs, upholstery, and museum specimens; their hairs may cause skin or respiratory irritation in sensitive people. They recycle dead organic material, while adults pollinate flowers.
