Pod Creature - Phereoeca uterella

Pod Creature - Phereoeca uterella
Van Nuys, Los Angeles County, California, USA
July 15, 2007
Size: 1cm
I found this on a floor in my house. It is 1cm and it is very flat, but appears to 'house' a caterpillar or centipede. He extends out enough to drag this along with him wherever he goes. The first shot is of his 'pod' and the second is the best one of him (or her) in action. I have never seen anything like it and would like some help identifying exactly what it is. Thanks!
