Found this kibble of dog food behind some kitchen furniture, noticing it is a maggot nursery! What kind of beetle/bug is nesting in my kitchen?’
Thanks 😃

Dear Maggot spotter,
Maggots are the larvae of flies. You have Carpet Beetle Larvae, common household pests that will eat a wide variety of organic substances found in the home.
Thank you 👍 I had carpet beetles in the kitchen for a short while, (I think they hitched a ride with some old dry compost plants I bought at food lion !) but haven’t seen them in a few months …
