Household Casebearer

Found inside residential homes, specifically on walls, floors, and in dark closets.

Larvae feed on organic fibers including spider webs, wool, hair, and dead insects.

The larva constructs a protective silk case covered with sand and dust. It can turn around inside the case and emerge from either end to feed or move.

Generally considered a minor indoor pest; while harmless to humans, they can damage natural fiber clothing and carpets.
