Hello everyone, my name is Leila.
I woke up this morning to find this 'thing' on my kitchen shelves. and this little thing was resting on its own. When I finally mustered the courage to touch it, I realized it is an empty shell, almost like a peanut shell. I'm not sure the pictures do justice to the colour, but it is brownish/dark-redish. It has little lines and is about as big as a cooked grain of basmati rice. A little detail that might be helpful, the shell is covered with little fibres and hairs.
For the record, I live in the Netherlands, near Utrecht. The area is a little humid and foresty and my apartment can get quite warm. With the summer/fall transition, temperatures are around 14 °C /49 °F.
This is the first time I see something like that since I've moved in two weeks ago, the other insects I've seen were daddy long legs and a few flies here and there.
Could someone please help me identify what this shell/insect is please?
I apologize in advance for the quality of my pictures.
Best regards,
Leila
