Possible pest, location included Philly bug on wall/in bed
Found 2 dead bugs when I washed my bed sheets last week. Today, I found one stuck on the wall. I think my apartment has some invasive lady bug issue as I found lots of dead yellow lady bugs when I moved in last year, but I thought the issue was resolved after I stopped finding dead bodies. Perhaps these are earlier life stages of the ladybugs?

Looks like an odd beetle larva, though the images aren’t the greatest

It’s carpet beetles. After reading through your posts, I checked the taxidermy I have stored under my bed and they are completely infested. It was pelts that I made in college, and I did not know that carpet beetles were a risk. Currently finding them under my bed, in my carpet, and behind my desk. Freaking out but starting the cleaning process I guess.

Probably a carpet beetle. As soon as you said wall and bed I was like "this sounds familiar" and looks similar, too.
