I am living in the Netherlands and I see these from time to time crawling slowly on my wall.
It's about 7mm long (0.275 inch), very slow to move.
Any idea what type of insect this is.

This is a larva of a beetle in the family Dermestidae, genus Anthrenus. This includes several pest species known as carpet beetles or skin beetles.

If this is a larva, what does the adult look like, please? Thank you!
