I found this in my house. It has a weird behavior: if you drop it, it flops onto its back with the feet up. I stuck it onto a piece of sticky tape to photograph.
Anyone know what it is, or anything about it?

Looks like some kind of maggot. You may be infested (with maggots).

It's no infestation, I've just found the one. I'm just curious about it!

I bet that little sucker is high in protein. Better eat it now, lest it go to waste.

Poor bug.
Looks like you might have an answer above.

Tooki--
You've got a Dermestid Beetle Larva, which means it could be a "Pantry" or "Larder" beetles or a Carpet Beetle.
Time to call an exterminator so things don't get our of hand.
HTH,
Maury
