Subscriber question: Greetings! Unexpectedly, I found this very small creature (about 1 mm, maybe even a little smaller) on the sink. I've never seen anything like this before; a Google search yielded no results. It would be interesting to know who I managed to meet so unusually. Geographically the Moscow region. Answer: Judging by the photograph, this is a larva of carpet beetles (most likely from the family Dermestidae). These tiny creatures, measuring about 1-2 mm in size, have a characteristic bristly, "hairy" appearance with tufts of bristles on the sides of the body. If you find one larva, this is not a disaster, but it is worth checking closets with clothes, carpets and upholstered furniture. Regular cleaning and ventilation usually solve the problem. 🏀 Hit the hoop and get an NFT gift — https://t.me/BasketbolX_bot
