What are these insects near bed furniture
What are these bugs. I am finding them daily in my bed and nearby furniture from last month and now growing population. They may not be bed bugs as I am not having any skin itch or rashes.

I found this discussion elsewhere. Opinion seems to be it's some kind of moth in a cocoon.

Welcome to the forums.
A real closeup of one insect would be helpful.
They're small but don't look anything like bedbugs.

Ok I tried many photos. And cannot get more macro photos with my mobile camera. They are very tiny.

A location would be helpful also. At least a state. Different bugs in different parts of the country.
Is that bag like thing part of the bug? Never saw anything like it.
