Re: Tiny,brown,hairy larva for ID please

If you look up 'carpet beetle' in the Insect Gallery, you will see what the adult looks like and also the Woolly Bear, which is what your's are known as.
They are usually considered a household pest. I had one of the adults and was told to put down sticky traps, but then I caught a black beetle instead (still alive) and threw them all away
