Can you identify this bug for me please?

Barfers and barfettes, need a favor. Can you id this bug for me? This bug is between 3 to 5 mm long. Used a magnifier to take this picture. Want to figure out if I should call pest control on this.

Looks like my image upload skills suck.

It was in the bathroom, probably crawled out of baseboard I think.

I would email the entomology dept at CAL for a definitive answer.

Yeah it could be that for sure. Super hard to tell from those pictures. Any damage to clothing in your house?

I'd also guess/speculate that it is a carpet beetle larvae. Thought that I had them in my house, but looks like I have Elm leaf beetle/larvae in my house.

If you have a smart phone download the Seek app. It's amazing. You take pictures of animals and plants and it will identify them for you. It can also use stored photos.
