Berlin - January 05, 2020 Hello everyone, I found this larva today on my laundry room door. I wonder if it came from our Christmas tree. Anyway, i wonder if it is a moth larva? i think that carpet beetle larva is smaller and more hairy. Maybe someone has seen this before? it looks like it is wrapped in something.

It may belong to Tineidae - see e. g. pictures https://species.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tineidae http://lepidoptera.butterflyhouse.com.au/faqs/silk.html |

Hello Jan, Thank you for replying. Tineidae is an excellent suggestion. I will try to keep it alive and hopefully it pupates. Then we can see what comes out.  Best wishes, John John and Nini. Naturalists not experts. |
