@patrickcox Hi Patrick, Pretty sure this isn't a beetle. Most likely a scale.

@AlisonMilton that was my first thought, but then it started moving around in a larva like way, streching, twisting and retracting its head. And I can't find anything mentioning scale insects that can hang on a silk thread
