'''Woolly bears''' are the [[larval]] form of the [[varied carpet beetle]]. The larvae are distinguishable by their brown, yellow and black bands and hairy bodies. They feed on vegetable matter (outdoors) and natural fibres (indoors). They can be a serious household pest, damaging clothes, furniture and carpets. They may come into houses from infested birds nests or in carpets, furniture or clothing from an infested home or store. |
