Strange cocoon

  • Hello,


    I'm from Germany, but a friend of mine is from Mexico and living in Mérida (Yucatan/Mexico). He is worring about several cocoons he found in his house for the very first time.
    He found it in several rooms like kitchen, living room and bath room.


    It's gray-blue with a litte orange-brown top, about 1 or 2 cm long.
    Some of them seems like there is sometimes the top of a worm is coming out and then go back inside again.
    One of the cocoon (picture) seems like something aready came out, but he did not see it.


    Due to he never saw these before, he is a little worried about what it could be.


    Can somebody help us?


    Thank you
    Matt

  • Hi,


    I'm not exactly sure what this is... but did your friend consider cutting it open to see what's in there? Or at least - if he is so worried about what might come out of it - taking it off the wall?


    Maybe its just the cocoon of a little carpet moth? Trichophaga tapetzella - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
    Though I have no idea, why they would climb up a wall to pupate.


    Kind regards,
    Nicole
