Tamar, Interesting. If I had to guess, I would say those were either webbing moths or case making moths. I am trying to learn more about how these moths survive and spread, so I will be following this thread... Could it be a case where the bones had the moth eggs on them before they were placed in the current environment? Is the bone cleaning environment sealed pretty well to keep moths/larvae from getting in from the outside?
