Casemaking Clothes Moth (larva)

Indoor environments, particularly in closets, drawers, or storage areas where natural fibers are available.

Larvae feed on natural animal fibers like wool, silk, fur, feathers, and hair. They can also consume synthetic fabrics if blended with natural fibers.

The larva spins a silken case around itself, incorporating fibers from its food source for camouflage. It carries this 'sleeping bag' case everywhere. If disturbed, it retreats into the case and remains still.

They are a significant indoor pest that can cause irreversible damage to clothing, upholstery, and carpets. They do not bite humans or pets, but their presence can lead to property loss.
