Carpet beetle larvae (likely varied carpet beetle)

Indoors in carpets, upholstered furniture, closets, lint, and other undisturbed areas; adults often occur near windows and flowers.

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

Larvae are brown, oval, and densely hairy, often moving slowly or curling when disturbed; they molt repeatedly and leave shed skins. Adults emerge from pupation and may fly toward light.

Larvae can damage clothing, carpets, taxidermy, and stored natural materials; their hairs may cause itchy skin or respiratory irritation in sensitive people. They help decompose animal-derived organic matter, while adults pollinate flowers.
