Household Casebearer

Typically found inside houses, on walls, or under furniture. They prefer humid climates and architectural structures.

Larvae scavenge for organic materials including spider webs, wool, hair, felt, and dead insect remains.

Larvae construct a silk-lined, flattened, spindle-shaped case covered with sand or dust for protection. They can move by protruding their head and front legs from either end of the case.

They are considered a minor domestic pest. Risks include cosmetic damage to natural fabrics and clothing. They do not pose a direct health risk to humans.
