What is this parasite?

[Sergei82]

These creatures started appearing in my flat lately. First I thought it is moth or housefly pupas. No! They move! This video:



First I thought they're attracted by cat food. Moved the food to another place - they're still crawling from under something and are still at that place.
They're photosensitive - if the light is on all night, they don't come out.

Googled domestic pests - haven't found anything.

Please, help! I don't know what to do. What are they???

Look like plaster bagworms to me. (So you're scared of plaster bagworms? )

Anybody had it? How to kill?

They are common. We had them in 3 out of 5 places we lived in.
No troubles with them as long as you don't have cats and don't attend any gym.

On a serious note Sergei get rid of any cobwebs at your place and no the insects do not cause any harm to humans and are common in tropical climes.

I wonder can it be Lola's fur? She sheds a lot!

I was serious on the 1st part. Just ignore them, they are harmless or at least I have not notices any malicious activity.

I was ignoring until I got A LOT of them. Like about 50 around the same place on the wall and floor.

I've heard that they are quite common in Geylang and in a particular mall on Orchard.... you sure they didn't follow you home?

Wow everyone loves Sergei! ( and Sarcasm tags in bold caps!!!)

I would just treat them with Baygon or something similar. They should get the message.
