Cabinet beetle or carpet beetle larvae

Found indoors in dark, undisturbed areas such as pantries, closets, and along baseboards where dry organic debris accumulates.

They feed on dry animal and plant products, including wool, silk, leather, feathers, pet food, and stored grains.

Larvae actively crawl away from light to seek sheltered feeding sites and molt multiple times before pupating into adults.

They pose a significant risk as household pests that damage textiles, carpets, and stored food products, but provide no direct benefit indoors.
