Plaster Bagworm (Case-bearing Moth Larva)

Typically found on walls, floors, and under furniture inside houses, particularly in humid or subtropical climates.

Feeds on spiderwebs, wool, silk, hair, and other natural fibers or organic debris.

The larva constructs a protective silk case covered in sand, soil, and debris. It can pull its head out of either end of the bulbous case to feed or move.

They are considered minor household pests as they can damage silk or wool fabrics. They are not harmful to humans or pets but can be unsightly in large numbers.
