    Is it a springtail? Some sort of cockroach? It's very hard to tell from the picture. Does it have wings? 6 legs? how big is it?

    Carpet moths (well the type I've seen) don't have whiskers from there nose back to there backside. Yours look different.

    If it is moths have a look for little fur balls in places where the vacuum might of missed. They lay their eggs/larvae in these dust balls.
