I bought a brand new synthetic nylon rug. I didn't notice these empty dots until I saw it under the white light. So is this infestation of a moth, beetles, or their larva or any other kind of bug that eats fibers or is it just a badly manufactured rug?

If it is brand new, return it. It shouldnt be infested or badly manufactured. Let the store give you another one or a refund
it's new and the smell of the chemicals of the new carpets still in it. Unfortunately I can't return it back, and actually I don't care about getting refund or even git rid of it I'm just afraid that my house get infested with something because of it.
Are you seeing anything moving or clumps that could be larve? Have you run the vacuum over it and the pattern of white spots changed? If so, roll it up and take it back...as Judy suggested...but first I suggest that you scoop some what you see in a jar (use a plastic knife and jar with tight seal). Then google carpet beetles first, to see if it matches. If not, try silverfish, bedbugs, and mites and try to match it with Google images. It's a yucky job, but it is an important step.
When you id the critter, there are lots of good, safe, and natural solutions on thrifty fun to rid your home of the carpet hitchhikers quickly and completely.
If you see no critters and the spots don't change, it may be just a bad dye job and, like Judy said, take it back and ask for a refund! Stores need to be held accountable for poor performance.
Good luck! Let us know what happens!
That is really strange. If you cannot return it, can you take it back and ask them?
I think you guys misunderstood me at. The rug is new and clean there's no dirt or anything moving here, the white dots that i talk about is just missing fibers and the white under patch apparent as dots due to missing some surface furriness so i was just suspicious about the causes of these dots or those missing fibers is the infestation of something that eats fibers or it's just bad manufactured and not the best weave standards.
Hi! I am so sorry if I misunderstood what you were asking. I am one who likes to troubleshoot things...so I guess I went a little overboard.
In looking at your new photos, it looks to me (and I am NOT an expert) that it was just a poorly made product. Maybe a bad batch of dye or weaving issues. To me, Synthetic rugs are notorious for having imperfections.
From my experience, if you had bugs of some sort, there would be holes, most likely going all the way through...not just white spots.
It seems this is just poor workmanship and is seen quite a lot in some items made in different countries. You have kinda "hit the nail" on the head so to speak as the "dots" are difficult to see with the naked eye and thus pass inspection most of the time.
it looks to me like excess glue or some lost stitching. These cheap rugs are bound together like cheap books where pages are shoved up to a glue binding ad yes, sometimes they unravel
