Household Casebearer

Often found inside homes on walls, floors, and ceilings; native to humid tropical and subtropical environments.

The larvae feed on spider webs and natural fibers like wool, silk, and human hair.

Larvae construct a protective, flattened silken case covered in sand or dust and drag it with them as they move; they eventually pupate inside the case.

Generally considered a minor household pest; they do not bite humans but can cause minor damage to natural fabrics or silk items.
