I know it isn't a "bug" exactly, but it is a very tiny, kind of fuzzy, wormy looking thing. I find them around this time of year when the weather starts getting colder. They are usually found in the bathrooms and move very slowly. What are they? I want to get rid of them.

No, they don't change color that I've noticed. When I see them I get rid of them. I was thinking they might be something like ladybug larvae?

After looking at pics online, I don't believe it is ladybug larva.

It looks like a bed bug. Mind you hard to tell. Do you have a clearer image?

I can try to get a better pic. I pretty much just find them in the different bathrooms in the house. I haven't really noticed them anywhere else.

No, it doesn't seem to have an exoskeleton. You can't really pick them up without squishing them.
