Carpet Beetle Larva

Commonly found indoors in carpets, upholstery, closets, and air ducts where organic debris accumulates.

Scavengers that feed on natural fibers like wool, silk, fur, feathers, and dead insects.

Larvae prefer dark, undisturbed areas. They have a slow development cycle and can survive for long periods without food.

Potential household pest that can damage textiles and stored goods. Their hairs (setae) can cause skin irritation or 'carpet beetle dermatitis' in sensitive individuals.
