Casemaking Clothes Moth (Larva/Case)

Indoor environments, specifically closets, wardrobes, and upholstery where natural fibers are present.

Natural fibers of animal origin including wool, silk, fur, feathers, and hair. They consume the protein keratin.

The larva constructs a silken tube or case covered with debris and fibers from its food source. It carries this case while moving and feeding, eventually pupating inside it.

A significant household pest that causes physical damage to clothing, blankets, and rugs. They offer no benefits to the human ecosystem and are considered destructive.
