I am thinking that the larva from Loc 54 is a dermestid of some sort. Anyone have any thoughts as to what the other larva and the two beetle might be?

Loc 54 larva is just over a 1 mm in length Loc 37 Beetle – around 2.25mm in length. Head can’t be seen from above Loc 70 larva – amber colored 3 mm in length (perhaps an Odd beetle larva) So sorry for the little guy. Still alive and I pulled out a goodly number of hairs turning him over. Loc 41 Beetle – between 2 ½ - 2 ¾ mm in length. He ended up being “drawn and quartered” so to speak when turned over! Thanks so much in advance for any help!
