Carpet Beetle Larva (Specifically, a piece of debris or frass resembling one, or a dried larval casing)

Typically found indoors in dark, undisturbed areas like closets, under furniture, in carpets, and near stored natural fibers (wool, silk, fur).

Larvae feed on natural animal fibers such as wool, fur, feathers, silk, shed pet hair, and dried skin flakes. Adults feed on pollen and nectar.

Larvae thrive in dark places and move slowly. They shed their skins multiple times as they grow, leaving behind hairy, translucent shells. The object in the image appears to be a dried casing or a very curled larva.

Risks: Larvae can cause significant damage to carpets, clothing, and upholstery made from natural fibers. Some individuals may experience an allergic reaction (dermatitis) upon contact with the larval hairs. No direct bite to humans but considered a household pest.
