Case-bearing Clothes Moth (Larva)

Indoor environments, specifically dark areas like closets, drawers, and under furniture where natural fibers are stored.

Keratin-rich materials including wool, fur, feathers, silk, hair, and occasionally leather or synthetic fibers blended with natural ones.

Larvae construct and live inside a portable silken case incorporating fibers from the material they feed on. They crawl with this protective case, often climbing walls to pupate near ceilings.

Significant indoor pest causing irreversible damage to clothing, upholstery, and carpets. They pose no direct health risk to humans but can be economically destructive.
