Plant Hopper parasite larvae

Epilyrops Oxigua planthopper parasite

Description:

Each stage is very different. The larvae seem much bigger than the Moss themselves. The moths seem microscopic and white or black. The larvae is yellowish white and at some points they are like crusty exoskeleton other times they look like chips little flakes. The most bizarre creature I've seen.

Habitat:

These have infested my home in Massachusetts.

Notes:

I don't know if anyone knows anything about human infestation. But these have laid eggs in my head and arms and legs. I have videos. No one knows what to do because I have not yet until today figured out what they were. If anyone has any information on how to help me get rid of these I would much appreciate it. This is a terrible experience.
