Hello all

I recently came across this bug at home. We've recently been getting a few itchy spots and have been actively looking for potential creepy crawly culprits.

Sorry for the low quality pictures, but it was very small and the only way to get a pic was to take from a normal distance and then zoom in.

Do you have any idea of what this bug could be?

Many thanks.

Hello and Welcome! to the forum. That looks like the same bug we periodically see: a carpet beetle larvae. They will eventually turn into tiny flying, spotted beetles.
