Hi bugman,
Found several of these bugs alive, indoors, in Eastern Pennsylvania, today (middle of September). Sorry, I didn’t think to include something for scale. The thing is quite small– 1/4” to 1/2” range.
TIA!

Carpet Beetle Larva
Hi John,
You have Carpet Beetle Larvae, common household pests with a cosmopolitan distribution. Here is a very similar looking Carpet Beetle from Iran. Try vacuuming more often and remove all pet hair.

Here in new York state we actually refer to them as popsicle beetle larva. This is because they eat popsicles and make a gosh darn mess!
