Case-bearing Clothes Moth (larval case)

Indoor environments, particularly in dark, undisturbed areas like closets, attics, and under furniture.

Larvae feed on keratin-containing animal products including wool, silk, fur, feathers, and hair.

The larva constructs a portable silken case incorporating fibers from its food source. It carries this case while feeding and eventually pupates inside it.

Significant pest of textiles and household goods. They cause physical damage to clothing, upholstery, and carpets. They do not bite humans or pets.
