I think that it looks like a carpet moth grub. If it is you need to do something about it as they would ruin your carpets.  :(

Hi and thanks for the suggestion but i think not as this grub is around 20mm long with a black dot on it's rear if that helps  ;)

What lovely hens.

You might get a better response to your question if you post it in the chatting area - more people are likely to see it.
