Leatherworm larvae.

Thank you very much, I will know.
And I observe beetles much less often than larvae...
I wonder what the larvae feed on, and the beetles themselves... I have a rather spartan environment, there is definitely no skin, cereals are stored in airtight cans... Do they eat linoleum?

They do not need much - organic residues contained in the dust are quite suitable.
