Do to the rough and course nature of your walls like outside a Wasp nest or home has been built on you walls to hatch the baby. Usually they build under or behind furniture.

just make sure mother isn't around knock off wall and sweep quickly.

Looks like a moth larvae to me.

Watch out for any clothes especially woollens in the house.

They'll eat cotton too if the can't find tasty woollen faire.

We vacuum pack our cold climate woollens as soon as we get back and wash them as on da island these little critters cause terrible havoc.

Wool suits also vacuum packed.

Yes - it is a case moth (or bag-worm) larva.  They are totally harmless. They will feed until they are ready to pupate - generally on some type of vegetation - (varies depending on species of moth - as there are many different species of these guys) . They do not eat dust, fluff or clothes!

Interestingly - the female is flightless.  The male develops normally, pupates , leaves his bag , then uses his (very) long abdomen to mate with a receptive female in her bag.  She will then lay eggs in her bag , the larvae emerge, leave the bag - and the cycle continues!!

okay! as an amateur entomologist, I am always interested and open to learn! 

Yup - these are a form of clothes-moth

I am sorry - this has gone beyond boring to the average Joe - but it has really pricked my interest!

Cheers!

That's what my wife said.

 

Usually means time for a deep cleaning.  

 

.... Perhaps hire a maid to come a couple of times a month.
