October 26, 201114 yr So not sure if this is the right place to post this... Any idea what this is? I have a few in my bathroom - this one was wiggling it seemed to be climbing up the wall. What is it? It's pretty small... Anyone know? Thanks in advance!
October 26, 201114 yr That is a some sort of "Alien Bathroom Invasion" the end is near! let's repent! lol anyway that is just a small snail....
October 26, 201114 yr Well, the picture is not very clear…but I assume it is a bagworm, i.e. the caterpillar of a member of the Psychidae family. These caterpillars construct cases in which they live and are often attached to walls etc. If you can provide a better photo I probably could give more information… They are absolutely harmless… Erwin
October 27, 201114 yr This is a small caterpillar which covers itself with dust and small particles for protection. It is slowly crawling up the walls and attaches itself on higher ground, usually on the ceiling. There it is waiting to mature, leave the cocoon and fly away as a new moth. It is the larvae state of a small moth. It is harmless, but it is a considered a pest. I think they also eat wool and other textiles. I had some on our woolen carpets. You should kill all of them as soon as you see any. They multiply very quickly if you do not fight them. Good luck Carlos
