Dermestidae - Carpet Beetles - Anthrenus verbasci
1.3 miles NW of Camp Wood, Edwards County, Texas, USA
March 27, 2016
Size: apx 3 mm
I believe this is Anthrenus verbasci - Varied Carpet Beetle. I never posted this Beetle, but when I found this strange larva on my sheet last night I asked Valerie Bugh if she recognized it. She knew it was a Carpet Beetle and that larva looks to me like it matches this specimen which was found in the house where the sheet was stored.

The larva is posted at image #2064848.
