Carpet Beetle Larva

Carpet Beetle Larva
Curtice/Jerusalem Twp., Lucas County, Ohio, USA
July 29, 2009
Size: 3/8-7/16 inch
Found this one burrowing in my new kitchen sponge. About 7/16" long and HAIRY!! Brown with a small off-white to tan spot toward "tail". Off-white on bottom.
Sorry for the poor quality images. I don't have any macro lenses, so had to crop and zoom.
