Household Casebearer (Moth)

Commonly indoors, found on walls, floors, and under furniture where dust and pet hair accumulate.

Larvae scavenge for organic fibers, including human or pet hair, wool, spider webs, and dead insects.

Larvae construct a flattened, silk-lined case covered in debris for protection. They can pull their heads in from either end to change direction. The larva undergoes metamorphosis inside this case.

Generally considered a nuisance pest. They can cause minor damage to woolens or silks, but pose no direct health risk to humans or pets.
