This does look very much like photos of the casemaking clothes moth that I have seen, but there are so many similar species that I cannot be sure. Have you seen signs of larval activity, such as their silken cases in wool, felt, hair, or fur? Jeffrey K.

They are just under ½" in length. I think they may be case-making clothes moths, but am not certain.
