Looks more like a spider inside the case to me ?

@donhe @ibaird I thought this was a spider too, but when I poked its head out I'm pretty sure it's a moth or beetle. In the first photo it's facing "west", with black face and we're looking at a dorsal view. The body is cream, with a black blob on top of each segment. I think 3 legs are visible, with the third leg pointing north-west. The legs are cream as well and it has shiny black/reddish socks.
