carpet beetle
Wool-eating insect larva
Carpet beetles are small oval insects whose larvae feed on animal-based materials—wool, fur, feathers, leather, and dried foods.
They're common household pests, damaging carpets, clothing, and upholstery.
The adults are harmless and feed on pollen, but females lay eggs near food sources for larvae.
We found carpet beetle damage in the closet where we stored the wool blankets.
