Found several insects like this one on my apartment, size of a tick and only has a tail, or tongue, or tentacle, or antenna, or head. Any idea of what it is? enter image description here

    As ticks come in many sizes, can you give a size in mm or fractions of an inch or something like that? And where in the world are you?

That appears to be Tinea pellionella, or a Case-bearing Clothes Moth. A very similar image is found on this website:
