Hello Joanna, Others might have an idea, but the photos are a bit hard to make out.
Can you give us a size as to how big this pest is? Do you have a hand lens/loupe you can hold up to your phone lens then take a photo? It can really help.

Is it harmful in any way to the materials? I apologize for the photos- it was the closest I could zoom in on my phone.
