It is your DS after his metamorphosis.

If it's furry it's the larvae of the carpet beetle :(

Take a close up and do a reverse google image search.

Agree carpet beetle. Squash it and look for others.

I’ve found a couple of these in my house - no idea what they are!! Some kind of dust/fabric bug i guessed - but I do have a clean house honest!

Is your son Gregor Samsa?

I've had a look on google and it is very similar to a biscuit beetle I think. If so, I'd get rid. Likes to lay it's larvae in food apparently.

It is the lavae of a carpet beatle, they are called wooly bears. Not really a problem unless you get hundreds of them. Just squash him, or throw him out, depending on how you feel. The particularly like sheepskin rugs, and I saw a few more the year after I bought my DD's rugs for their bedrooms.

A carpet beetle?!?! Never heard of them. I squashed him. Can't see any more.
