Likely carpet beetle larva

Indoors, especially in carpets, upholstered furniture, closets, and stored natural-fiber textiles; larvae hide in dark, undisturbed areas.

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

Larvae are slow-moving, bristly, and often leave cast skins as they develop. Adults are small, rounded beetles attracted to light and flowers.

They do not bite or transmit disease, but larvae can damage clothing, carpets, and taxidermy. Adults contribute modestly to pollination and decomposition.
