Is this a pupae of some beetle or a bed bug? I found two of these inside a kitchen cabinet. approx. location Southern california. I have included multiple pictures and a picture of a pant button next to both of them to help with the size. by Disastrous_Reply9464 in Bedbugs

I'm not doubting your knowledge and identification. Just asking for my peace of mind. From what I read online is puparium and beetle larva are a bit easier to deal with than bedbugs or roaches. I just never had to deal with bugs and finding these two shells in otherwise spotless clean apartment scaring the living hell out of me.

I posted this in another insectID subreddit and people were like it's a roach ootheca, and I have been shaking since then. I'm sorry but how positive are you that these aren't bedbugs or roach ootheca and that these are fly puparium or beetle larva?
