PMZ Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 (edited) I have many of these in my house, they are a larvae of some kind, but I don't know what they become. They are just under a centimetre long, stick to the wall at one end and wriggle like a caterpillar to move. Anyone know what it is? Thanks Edited September 1, 2015 by PMZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tolsti Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 I believe it is a case moth larvae. They come in many forms and sometimes will add sticks etc to the outside of the silk cocoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gaijinsomchai Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Thanks for that. I used to have them in my apartment and never knew what they were. Learned something today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chingmai331 Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Put the thing in a container and wait a week/month. Observe the result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireMedic Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 I have waves of these as well....they usually gather up together in corners or tight spots. Others just park and dangle straight from the ceiling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
