    Thanks and I believe it is the carpet beetle larva.

    If it's that "wormy" looking thing in the center of the photo, it's a carpet beetle larva.  Harmless to you, but it munches on any organic material--paper, wool, book bindings, inadequately sealed stores of rice, flour, oats, etc.  These little b***tards can completely obliterate an insect collection if they get into the display boxes.
