Hi Rachel, if you'd be willing to send more pics that would be helpful, but right now it looks to me like the Tineid Oinophila v-flava or the yellow v moth. They eat decaying plant matter, bark, stored food and apparently, wine corks. Do you have anything like that in your collection? They also could have just come in from outside.

Can anyone identify them and let me know if I should be concerned? I am in Northern California if that helps with an i.d. They are small - maybe about 7 mm in length. I appreciate your help.
