Household Casebearer

Typically found indoors in humid climates, often seen on walls, ceilings, or under furniture in houses.

Larvae feed on spider webs and natural fibers like wool, fur, hair, and silk.

The larva builds a flattened, spindle-shaped case from silk and debris (dust, sand, fibers). It can move the case and poke its head out of either end to feed. They undergo complete metamorphosis within the case.

They are considered a minor household pest because they can damage silk or wool fabrics and spider webs. They pose no physical risk to humans or pets.
