If you see this in your house and it seems harmless to you, it is time for you to check your home and even more so if this appears near your closet where you keep your favorite clothes.
This is a species of moth called CASE MOTH (POLILLA DE ESTUCHE), a species of TINEIDAE.
This moth can eat textiles such as wool, leather, etc. Although it can also feed on hair and dust, it likes places with a lot of humidity, so the appearance of this moth and if you see its larva, is a sign that there is a lot of humidity in your home.
He makes his case with hair, dust and sand that he finds and his body is always stuck inside it, only his head showing out to move when he does not detect danger.
So if you need to be careful and pay attention in your home, check your wardrobe to see if there is an infestation of this moth that is devouring your favorite clothes.
I hope you like this publication, waiting for your comments and suggestions.

Wow! What an interesting creature. Thanks for all the information as always but I´m sorry you found this guy in your house. I hope he is not munching on your favorite clothes right now...
I am a biologist and I want to try to not only compete for a prize in a contest and only show a photo as an ornament and see the likes, I want to be a disseminator and show the wonderful thing about the natural world and have them enter this contest to seek to learn a a little more every day
