ID Request What am I looking at?

Seriously, they're eating cat food and... Wood?

Doesn't look like termites... Unless it is.

Northwest Indiana, and definitely about 3/4 cm in length.

That was my initial thought, we get the adults in the house, butt they're not as... Fuzzy? As the photos I've seen.

Could be a specific kind of carpet beetle. I know black carpet beetles have less fuzzy larvae than varied or furniture carpet beetles.
