I saw this on the photo when I got home, I'm taking a guess that it might be a case moth...

@VanessaC : Have you got a photo showing both ends ? Possibly Hemibela species?

Hi @donhe - yes, I've cropped the photo into a square which seems to have worked better. You should be able to see both ends now.
