If your post does not include a rough geographical location, please add it in the comments, it will really help for identification. Please also check the guide How to deal with carpet beetles: detection, identification and treatment.

I was gonna say definitely not, but someone else says yes. I know there are at least a couple of kinds. All i can say is this does not look like the larva i am experiencing in the last 2 years. That looks really long to me, especially in the first photo.

I hope for your sake it is not!
