something horrible hatched on my ceiling

[Two_Sheds]

Not quite on the ceiling, but near it. They have spontaneously appeared as a £2 coin-sized mass, which was dispersing when I spotted it.

The larvae are 5mm long, and move in a looper fashion. Too small to see any legs. thousands of them

My best guess is Indian Meal Moth, but they aren't anywhere near a food source

Any other ideas?

Sorry Two Sheds, I don't know what they are, but I'm glad they're yours and not mine.
I look forward to hearing what they are.

Alice ... they are dead

They would be up the Dyson before you could blink in my house....

[Alice]

Alice ... they are dead

Maybe I'm psychic Two Sheds - but I already knew that.

[Two_Sheds]

For about 20 mins I considered letting them get a bit bigger so I could ID them better ... but then when they started to disperse in all directions I changed my mind

[rustylady]

Alice ... they are dead

How and when did they die?

[Pies]

I'm guessing it was a rapid death about 10 secs after the photos were taken
