Seeking the POA Entomologist

[Skip Miller]

I have seen a few of these critters crawling around lately. They do not seem to fly. I have found them in the bathroom near where they could have fallen out of an exhaust vent.

Fuzzy little guys! They seem to crawl either forwards or backwards, and turn with some difficulty. So would I with all those legs....

Anybody have an ID?

Thanks in advance! -Skip

Oh, the scale in the one photo is in inches.

Google Images shows that Carpet Beetle Larvae are very similar to what I have here - or did have here. Somehow my sample got squished! (and no blood - so it is not a bedbug!)

@EdFred Thanks... it was my Dad's. No, he was not an architect, but a space planner. I am not an architect either. I used it in commercial real estate investment. -Skip

I dunno, but it would be introduced to the bottom of my shoe pretty quickly.

Make sure your shoe doesn't have a gun in it.

Baby Tribble. Look around for a unchecked stock of quadrotriticale. Likely infested.
