    @David Kearley I looked at the picture and first thought was clothes moth, I'd check pictures online, maybe try ispotnature or similar. Also have a look at any soft furnishings in the garden room. Hopefully I'm wrong.

    Thanks, i'm not sure on the clothes moth, 'net shows them as having white larvae and if these were from the larvae i found a couple of weeks back then they were yellow.

    Very odd.

    We did have carpet moth some years back, total nightmare, they were much smaller and a real pain.
