Casemaking Clothes Moth

Indoor environments, particularly dark, undisturbed areas containing stored fabrics, woolens, and carpets.

Larvae consume keratin-rich animal fibers including wool, fur, silk, feathers, and leather.

Larvae construct and live inside a portable silk case decorated with debris, dragging it along as they feed.

They pose no direct health risk to humans but cause significant economic damage by destroying garments, upholstery, and carpets.
