Found in the kitchen? Probably a type of pantry moth. Throw out any food items you find them in, put up sticky lures and store food in airtight containers. Might take some time to get rid of them completely, so be strict about it for a few months, to wait out a few of their reproductive cycles.
*squints*
looks like a baby millipede
guesstimate based on:
– seems to be moving in a straight line
– not a lumpy sausage, unlike moth larvae
– has antennae
– has loads of legs
Doesn’t look like a carpet beetle larvae
No no no burn the place to the ground.
Looks like a millipede to me
**FREE FOOD!!!**
In all seriousness, it’s hard to tell from this picture, but I’m sure I could attempt to narrow it down.

To put it simply, it’s likely some sort meal moth that is still a larva. It’d be best if you call someone out now, before the larvae are no longer larvae.
That does look like a grain moth (a.k.a. pantry moth) larva, even though you’ve been finding them in your living room — they can get everywhere. Typically, they crawl around looking for somewhere to pupate — they’ll often make their way to where the wall meets the ceiling, or any crack and crevice, which is where you should look to see if you can find any cocoons (they look like strange white fluff stuck to the ceiling or wall).
Could maybe be a Speckkäfer (Larve)
I don’t know the English name tho

Found another one, again in the living room, close to the windows, curtains and radiators.

When touched it rolls itself up.
Moth larvae check your cabinets hat it once basically had to threw out all stored shit that was open
That’s your Hausmeister.
Brain Eaters.
We had them too. There was a spice jar that went bad and was the source of these fiends. I suggest you try to find the source ad get rid of it. After we did this, they disappeared.
Not good! You should burn down your apartment…

It’s not a moth larvae, its legs make it some variety of centipede or millipede.

Around 1cm long. Found 3 or 4 over the past week.

Check all the food items you have in the house that aren’t in the fridge — especially anything with flour or grain of any kind, and even stuff you haven’t opened yet. If you see dead moths, larvae or something that looks like fine cobwebs — [like this for example](https://www.noordinaryhomestead.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/pantry-moths-sesame-seeds-02.jpg), throw it out.
If it is grain moths, you will have an infestation of moths later this year. You can get [pheremone traps](https://www.frag-mutti.de/images/uploads/de/head/6339/pheromonfalle-gegen-motten.webp) (look for “Lebensmittel-Mottenfalle”), and apart from that just kill any moths you see and keep your food as tightly sealed as you can manage.
