Saw these while looking at apartments but have no idea what they are. they were found mostly on carpet, but some were in other parts of the unit.

edit: after looking up the suggestion of carpet beetle I am fairly convinced that it is indeed what they are. I also saw a few adult beetles that look like one of the species found in photos online. thanks everyone.

Dude gross! Keep looking, that's not the apartment you want to live in. I thought that was a patch of hairy skin with bugs all over it.

The bugs look similar to ones I've found in some old Ramen noodle packs, but IDK WTF.

I wasn't planning on it. After I left I tossed my clothes in a bucket of brewery caustic. Some of the places were nasty and I don't know how anyone thought they were fit for viewing, let alone rental.
