I'm resuming emails after some time. Sorry for not replying sooner.
What measures can we take? For now, we have an ultraviolet light trap and we 
check the taxidermy specimens periodically.

I agree on the ID, and yes those do attack taxidermy.  We have a problem with

Hi Maria
It appears to be Tinea pellionella, the case-bearing clothes moth: the 
characteristic black spots on the forewings are clearly visible.
