Dear Esin,
This appears to be a Carpet Beetle Larva from the family Dermestidae, a family with many species that are infamous for infesting stored foods and feeding on many other organic materials including wood and museum specimens. We do not specialize in extermination advice.
I have 2 pictures of a beetle? that I found on my blanket. It’s about the size of a dime , but a bit smaller. The undersid of it is off white. It freaked me out because bugs and I don’t get along. I live in cleveland ohio. can I send you a picture of it so you can identify it, Please!
