Varied carpet beetle larva (likely)

Indoors in carpets, clothing, upholstery, stored textiles, and wall voids; adults often occur near flowers and windows.

Larvae consume keratin-rich animal materials, including wool, fur, feathers, hair, and dead insects. Adults primarily feed on pollen and nectar.

Larvae are slow-moving, bristly, and often hide in dark, undisturbed areas; they periodically shed distinctive hairs and skins. Adults are active fliers and may enter homes from outdoors.

Larvae can damage textiles and may cause itchy, dermatitis-like reactions from shed hairs. Adults pollinate flowers and help recycle dry animal remains.
