Hello! To me it looks like it comes from the Bucculatricidae family of Ribbed Cocoon-maker Moths, common in North America. Larvae start as leaf-miners and develop into leaf skeletonizers for specific plants. It probably hitched a ride inside.

Sent: Friday, June 7, 2024 9:54 AM To: pestlist@googlegroups.com Subject: [PestList] small moth ID help Hello everyone, My colleagues found this moth in one of our spaces. We are in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The blue dot is from the tip of a marker, so this little moth is about 3-6 mm in length. We have eliminated the common museum moths, and I think it is from outside and someone whose larva eat plants, but any ID would be greatly appreciated.
