Hi F
Hi Frances,
Yes this is most likely to be the larva of one of the 'house moths',
possibly a tineid (Tineidae), but possibly an oecophorid (Oecophoridae).
An interesting observation being that there is *one *caterpillar plus
*two *head
capsules - this frequently occurs with larvae stuck on
These look like caterpillars. Could be a tineid moth species. You'll have to
do some sleuthing to find out what could be infested.
