does anybody know what the early stages of this bug looks like, found a few in different places in the houses, dried up, thought at first they were dried up lavender petals, but was washing my hair bent over n shower and 2 fell out of my hair at different times, was able to grab them, 3rd went down the drain, looked at them through magnifying glass, brown with faint stripes on back, one end pointed, oblong 1 cm to 2 cm, other end lighter tan like maybe was head?? Freaked me out, the back of my head had been itchy, have combed several times through and i see nothing of any kind. Could it be a Silverfish nymph or shell? Have found a couple of those but I do know what they look like. If you have any good advice email me please at fantasyartist@icloud.com Thank You!! Looks a little like the Cupes capitatus above but without the legs and tentacles.
