Casemaking Clothes Moth larva

Dark, undisturbed areas in homes, such as closets, under furniture, or rugs.

Natural fibers including wool, silk, fur, feathers, and hair.

The larva constructs a protective silken case incorporating debris and fibers. It drags this case as it feeds and eventually pupates inside it.

A significant household pest that causes damage to clothing, upholstery, and carpets; no significant ecological benefits in a domestic setting.
