The bugs that many Taxidermists use is a black carpet beetle. A dermestid.
The larvae eat almost any type of animal product such as leather, wool, silk, feathers, hair, dried meat, dead insects, and even dried plant material.

And do note the Dermestid beetle and larvae can be very bothersome with head mounts. They can destroy them....

FWIW
