Description:

I found this guy on my wall in my apartment. I've seen these before, but I never really knew what they were. Some kind of larvae? That's a dime in the pictures, so you can tell that he's really small. Any ideas?

Could be a Carpet Beetle Larvae. Have you been finding hole in wool clothes like this person? - http://en.allexperts.com/q/Entomology-Study-Bugs-665/2008/2/Holes-wool-clothing-1.htm. Here is a direct link to a picture - http://www.pestcontrolcanada.com/Questions/Ohio%20carpet%20beetle%20larva.jpg

Just call any local pest control place and ask if they can come out for an estimate of it you can email them the picture. No charge and then you'll know for sure. Use a local company, they have seen this bug before. It looks like a common bed bug. Once you figure out what it is to a certainty, then google it on eradicating it. Or just go buy some bug spray and see if the insect is listed on the back of the can.
