   Hey Everyone,

   Girlfriend has gotten some nasty bites the last few weeks at an apartment we moved into about 2 months ago.

   The following is the link to the pictures: http://imgur.com/a/cer1Q
   NOTE: You can zoom into the pictures to get a better look.

   While I actually think it is a Carpet Beetle larva, I figured someone here could identify it.

   Thanks

   Hi,

   100% not bedbug.

   99% certain its a carpet beetle larva.

   Oh, it was more then just the skin. It went squish a bit when I picked it up. I think I have also found the carapace of the beetles too, but they are to brittle to pick up with my fingers.
