Yuck! Identify this bug I found in my laundry (with pics)

Dirty laundry bug

Any idea what kind of bug this is? This is the second one I’ve found in my dirty laundry hamper.
How do I get rid of them/prevent them?

They could be the larvae of the clothes moth.

Here’s the home page of the Insect Identification Laboratory , from which the link above comes, to enable you to go through the identification process yourself.

Carpet Beetle larvae

Hmm… it appears to be the Carpet Beetle Larvae… I have found some holes in a few shirts and a pair of Mr J’s shorts.
Gross! I’ve gotta get rid of these before more of my stuff gets chomped on by these little bastards.

Thanks for the help.
