Carpet beetle larva (likely varied carpet beetle)

Indoor fabrics, carpets, clothing, upholstery, and lint-filled crevices; adults often occur near flowers and windows.

Larvae consume keratin-rich materials such as wool, fur, feathers, hair, dead insects, and natural-fiber debris. Adults mainly feed on pollen and nectar.

Larvae are slow-moving, hairy, and may hide in dark undisturbed areas; they molt repeatedly and can damage textiles. Adults emerge seasonally and are attracted to light and flowers.

Larvae can damage clothing, carpets, and upholstery, and their shed hairs may irritate skin or allergies. They also help decompose dead organic material outdoors.
