Case-bearing clothes moth larva (probable)

Dark, undisturbed indoor areas such as closets, carpets, upholstery, and wall or floor crevices. Larvae may construct silken, fiber-covered cases from nearby debris.

Larvae consume keratin-rich animal fibers, including wool, fur, feathers, hair, and shed skin, often leaving irregular holes. Adults do not feed and mainly reproduce.

Larvae avoid light and remain within portable silk cases or webbing, feeding for weeks to months before pupating. Adults are weak fliers and are usually noticed near infested fabrics.

They are not dangerous to people and do not bite, but infestations can damage clothing, rugs, upholstery, and taxidermy. They contribute modestly to decomposition by consuming animal-derived fibers.
