Case-bearing Clothes Moth Larva

Domestic indoor environments, specifically dark areas like closets, drawers, and under furniture.

Keratin-based animal fibers including wool, silk, fur, feathers, and hair.

The larva constructs a silken tube or case reinforced with fibers from its food source. It carries this case while feeding and eventually pupates inside it.

A significant household pest that causes physical damage to clothing, upholstery, and rugs; no direct health risk to humans but poses economic and material risk.
