Saw these while looking at apartments but have no idea what they are. they were found mostly on carpet, but some were in other parts of the unit.

edit: after looking up the suggestion of carpet beetle I am fairly convinced that it is indeed what they are. I also saw a few adult beetles that look like one of the species found in photos online. thanks everyone.

Did they look hairy? It’s hard to see in the picture. I think dermestid larvae. Also, is that hair in the picture? That carpet looks sketch AF.

yeah looks like carpet beetle to me too. no bueno, you'll get holes in clothes and things similar to if you had moths.
