Hi all,

I'm having difficulty with an infestation of larvae. We picked these up in a previous rented home, where they caused damage to our clothes. I suspect that the previous apartment had both clothes moths (confirmed by traps) and carpet beetles. I haven't seen any flying moths in our new place or activity on traps but I have seen a lot of small larvae. Can anyone confirm what species they are? I took the best photos I could with my phone.

LOCATION = UK

Here's some more info. entnemdept.ufl.edu/creatures/fabric/furniture_carpet_beetle.htm
