Carpet Beetle for sure...
...and it looks a lot like the Antrenus larvae in the Guide. I couldn't tell you that it's definitely A. verbasci, though. Perhaps someone else will be able to confirm the species.

 
Anthrenus
I agree. Pasting in reference to my fuzzy A. verbasci larva, and subsequent adult. Mine turned out to be A. verbasci, but I found out by raising to adult beetle.
