Case-bearing Clothes Moth

Tinea pellionella

Description:

This moth forms a case around it during its larva stage.

Notes:

I tried to select arthropod as a category but for some reason the site won't allow me to. So I had to select other. :(

I'm glad that helped you. I had something similar on a stone wall on my porch.

Thank you for the hint, you were right. After some digging I found the correct species.
