Likely carpet beetle larva

Indoors in carpets, upholstery, closets, and stored natural-fiber materials; larvae prefer dark, undisturbed areas.

Larvae feed on wool, fur, feathers, hair, dead insects, and other keratin-rich debris; adults mainly consume pollen and nectar.

Larvae are slow-moving, bristly, and often hide in fabric folds or along edges. They develop through several molts, leaving shed skins and possible holes in textiles.

They do not bite or transmit disease, but larvae can damage clothing, carpets, and upholstery and may trigger irritation from shed hairs. Adults contribute modestly to pollination.
