Carpet beetle larva (likely)

Homes, especially carpets, upholstery, closets, and areas containing lint, hair, or natural-fiber materials.

Larvae eat keratin-rich materials such as wool, fur, feathers, silk, shed skin, and dead insects; adults mainly consume pollen and nectar.

Larvae are slow-moving, often hide in dark undisturbed areas, and may leave tiny shed skins. Adults are attracted to light and commonly enter homes from outdoors.

Larvae can damage textiles and cause allergic skin or respiratory reactions from their hairs. Adults pollinate flowers, and larvae help decompose animal remains outdoors.
