What is this insect I found in my kitchen?
That is a larva of a dermestid beetle (Family, Dermestidae). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dermestidae Dermestid beetle larvae feed on dried material, and are the last insects to clean up a carcass. They are the bane of insect collectors, as they will eat a collection right off the pins. They leave nothing but dust and their shed skins behind.
