Household Casebearer

Typically found inside houses, on walls, or under furniture in warm, humid climates.

Larvae feed on spider webs and organic fibers such as wool, hair, and some synthetic materials.

The larva builds a flattened, spindle-shaped silken case covered in sand or dust. It can poke its head out of either end of the case to crawl or feed.

They are considered a minor household pest because they can damage silk or wool fabrics. They are not harmful to humans or pets.
