Great! Thank you all. I originally also thought possibly a carpet beetle but the hairs weren't right.
Louis, I always learn so much from you! Thank you for that. I have another interesting pest coming your way this afternoon - possibly some kind of pimplinae but I'd love confirmation.

Looks like a dermestid beetle larva exuviae. Not Thylodrias. The body setae are not in a row, slightly expanded but are pointed. See picture. Louis N. Sorkin, B.C.E.

[External E-Mail: Verify source before clicking on any links or opening any attachments.] Dear Pest enthusiasts! This time last year many of us were together and I miss you all! I would love some help with identifying this larva case. The measurement isn't perfect but it gives an idea. I found this in the corner of a frame of a collage in our collection. It has eaten some of the wood and there was frass and sawdust in the area. Any ideas?
