Field Notes

Description:

It is about a 1/4 inch long.

Notes:

Any idea what this strange bug is? It has a trunk like part where you see the yellow color. You can see more in the video. Sorry for the family narration. :) https://youtu.be/gbrDQX0bRN0

I'm not 100% sure, but I think the yellow thing sticking out of the bottom means it already emerged.

Good luck...and if your experiment succeeds, please do post it here.

Looks similar. I guess one way to find out if it's a moth is to put it in a jar and see what happens. Thanks SukanyaDatta!

I saw something similar in my home too...I live in India. You may like to take a look. http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/1617486014 It appears to be the Household case bearing moth. Please also see: Phereoeca uterella
