All you can see is the flat diamond shape shell.
This half inch or smaller, gray flat bug has a little piece that pokes out of the tip to scoot it around for mobility.
They climb up the side of walls.
I don't think it's a termite...or a snail...What Is IT?
Help! (took pic with cell phone...not very clear, but hope you can see it enough)
Thank you,
Blessings!

The image is not clear enough to be certain, but this could be a household casebearer (Phereoeca sp.; Lepidoptera: Tineidae). They are related to clothes moths, but seem to prefer chowing down on old spider webs and other organic detritus rather than on woolen or silk clothing. See http://tinyurl.com/26v5v85 for more detailed information.
we always called these things plaster bugs.
yes, here they are, plaster bagworms: http://www.google.com/images?hl=en&q=plaster%20bagworm&um=1&ie=UTF-8&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi
