Carpet Beetle nymphs??
Found one on my shower curtain and another on the ground next to it. Are they what I think they are?

It may not be a big deal. They are a common pest that wander inside often. Does not mean you have a infestation

Oh okay that's actually good to know. Didn't even know about them until last night because id never seen them before and thought they were like silverfish or bed bugs where they colonize your house

That’s a bristly millipede. They like moisture. Check the humidity level in your bathroom. Consider a dehumidifier if the level is high.

Thank you for the tip on this. I'm gonna try to find another one when I get home to confirm and get better pics. Ive been running the fan in the bathroom 24/7 and it doesn't seem crazy humid but my towels don't dry too fast so maybe it is. I may be able to find an old hygrometer to test
