Hi, this little bug is about 0,5 cm large and kids constantly find it in their room. It is fall now, winter soon, but the bugs are present whole year. What kind is it and is it dangerous?

Dear Irena,
This is a Carpet Beetle larva, a common cosmopolitan pest found in homes. They will feed on many organic materials found in the home, including shed pet hair and wool rugs. We are postdating your submission to go live to our site at the end of the month when we are away for the holidays.
