Phereoeca uterella
Small caterpillar like insect within a thin casing. An opening exists on both ends where the creature can pull itself along a surface.
Dark, dry areas.
This is some species of case moth or in the USA you might call it a bagworm. The females spend their whole lives inside that silk case (including pupation) but the males get to escape eventually and seek out a mate. They are basically a type of moth in a family called Psychidae. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bagworm_mot...
