Carpet beetle larva (likely)

Dry indoor areas, especially carpets, upholstery, closets, and undisturbed floor edges; adults may occur around flowers and windows.

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

Larvae are slow-moving, often concealed, and shed bristly skins as they develop. They may wander from food sources before pupating; adults are attracted to light.

Larvae can damage clothing, carpets, and stored animal-based materials, and their hairs may irritate skin or airways. They also help decompose animal remains and organic debris.
