    Your images don't work with the [/img] tags attached. If you remove them they will be clickable links instead. :o

    Had a look... seems like a caterpillar of sorts perhaps?

    Thanks for the response.

    I posted this because about two months ago, a bird or an animal got into the walls of our house and died, and we had to deal with a horrible maggot problem. But those looked like average white bluebottle/fly maggots.

    I saw this one in the same room, same place this evening and I am freaking out that we may have this problem all over again! So I am hoping that this is not one of those type of animals!

    It's certainly a fly larva of some sort op... Are you sure it's hairy... Or is that detritus that's stuck to it? :o

    Oh god! It looked like the hair was sticking straight up out of it. You can see it if you zoom in on it

    Is it alive/moving?
    Can you see any legs on it... Even little stumpy ones? If they're there, and there are 6 of them (3 pairs) towards one end of the little beastie, then it could be a beetle larva.

    Looks to me like a carpet beetle larva.

    Once it was confirmed as hairy, this is what I changed my mind to too... If it has little legs then we're closer to this diagnosis :D
