Help...insects? eggs? moths? on our walls ..i don't know..?

Question

there are little, brown "drop-shaped" or "water melon seed-like" species hanging on our kitchen and bathroom walls...they change positions. When I looked closely, they're actually moving. They have some kind of a worm on one side (the side attached to the wall)..i don't know how to describe it...

Before, i usually don't mind those, but recently they're noticeably increasing in number...

Thank you...in advance

Answer 1

id need a picture to know what they are

Answer 2

I think they're small Bagworms, or, if you're in Australia, we call them Case Moths.

The bags that they make vary a lot in the way they look, as some add leaves to it, and others small sticks etc.. They all look reasonably similar though, in that their head comes out of the top of the bag and they move around on walls, trees etc.. I used to get a lot of them inside and outside the last place I lived, but don't get many where I am now. I think they're quite cute.

Here's some info. about them, and a picture.
