The larval casting skins are all belong to Family: Dermestidae as Andras already said. Molt No. 1&4 are Anthrenus sp. most likely Anthrenus verbasci. It is 4.5 mm when fully developed and characterized by the tuft at the end of its body and the broadness of its rear. I am not sure of the genus of molt no. 2&3 but I advice you to check for Trogoderma sp. Its larvae are elongate bodied and tend to be lighter colored than most other dermestids. I hope this information is helpful to you. Best Regards!
