Carpet beetle larva (likely)

Indoors, especially carpets, upholstered furniture, closets, and stored natural-fiber materials; adults may occur on flowers outdoors.

Larvae eat keratin-rich and animal-derived materials, including wool, fur, feathers, hair, dead insects, and lint. Adults primarily feed on pollen and nectar and do not damage fabrics.

Larvae hide in dark, undisturbed areas and develop through several molts; their shed hairs and skins often accumulate near infestations. Adults commonly emerge near windows and lights.

Larvae can damage clothing, carpets, taxidermy, and other natural textiles; their hairs may irritate skin or airways in sensitive people. They also recycle dead organic matter, while adults contribute minor pollination.
