Fuzzy, black worms - what are these things?

Question

Lately, I've been finding a lot of tiny black worms (1/4 inch long) hiding in the fibers of my carpet. They're slightly fuzzy and have about five long, thin hairs sticking out their back ends. They have six legs and a pale whitish-beige underbelly. I've looked up images of larder beetle larvae, since I've seen some of them sneak in through the wall cracks from my balcony outside, but they don't really look similar; they're a lot smaller, a lot less fuzzy, and the larder beetle grubs don't seem to have the back-end hairs these worms do.
