Louse? Collembolan? - Anthrenus

Louse? Collembolan? - Anthrenus
Middlesex County, Massachusetts, USA
October 18, 2010
Size: 1.5 mm
This looks like a louse or a collembolan to me, but I don't know which. Awfully hairy for the average louse, and I didn't see a "spring" ventrally, so it's hard for me to tell. Was found inside a residence near a baseboard.
